Popis: To the Editor: Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae have been associated with higher death rates than infections caused by carbapenem-susceptible strains, and resistant infections are mostly treated with polymyxins (1). Several outbreaks caused by carbapenem- and polymyxin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPRKp) have been reported, mainly from Europe, and represent an emerging threat.
