Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a family of Gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to carbapenem, a class of anti-biotics used to treat infections. Carbapenems offer a broad-spectrum defense against a wide variety of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, meaning that increasing resistance by CRE, to which there is no reliable treatment, is a major concern for the health industry. [2,3] Previously rare in the United States before 1992, CRE are becoming increasingly more common.[1] Although Enterobacteriaceae are normal human intestinal flora, resistance may be caused by the occurrence of hydrolyzing enzymes, such as serine β-lactamase KPC and the metallo–β-lactamase VIM.[3] Resistance to carbapenems is common in a number of Enterobacteriaceae, such as Kelbsiella pneumoniae and E. coli [3]. CRE typically cause infections in patients of hospitals and nursing homes [3]. The increasing prevalence and lack of reliable treatment have led many to predict CRE as the next "superbug." [3]
