Popis: Background The aim of this study was to trace the emergence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) on Reunion Island, a French overseas territory well suited for the surveillance of CPE emergence in patients from the entire Indian Ocean Region. Methods This retrospective multicenter study was conducted on Reunion Island between 2010 and 2015. Results A total of 43 CPEs were isolated during the course of the study, in 36 patients (50% in the last year alone). Among these patients, 21 had a link with a foreign country (58%), mainly Mauritius (47.6%). Over the same period, CPEs were isolated from 13 of 1735 (0.7%) repatriated patients to Reunion Island from another country of the Indian Ocean Region. The incidence of isolation of CPEs in the repatriated patients treated in Mauritius was higher (9.2%) than in patients treated in Madagascar or the Comoros Islands ( P Klebsiella pneumoniae (39.5%). The most frequently identified carbapenemase was NDM-1 (81.4%); 100% and 56% of the NDM-1 strains were susceptible to tigecycline and colistin, respectively. In-hospital mortality rate was higher in patients presenting with CPE infection than in patients without CPE infection (75% vs. 25%, P = 0.04). Conclusion As elsewhere in the world, the number of CPE cases on Reunion Island is on the rise. Most cases involve patients from Mauritius, which justifies screening and isolating CPE in patients from that country.
