Abstract
Carbapenems-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) colonized patients are vulnerable to invasive infections from their endogenous colonization. We aimed in our study to genetically characterize the carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae (CPE) colonizing children admitted to pediatric Cairo university hospital. And assess the risk factors associated with acquiring CRE fecal colonization. One hundred CRE isolates were subjected to phenotypic identification of CPE by disk diffusion method and modified hodge test (MHT). Further genotypic detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), New delhi metallo-Ý-lactamase-type 1 (NDM-1), verona integron encoded metallo-Ý-lactamase (VIM), Imipenemase metallo-Ý-lactamase (IMP), and oxacillinase-48 (OXA-48) by multiplex PCR was done
