Carbapenem resistant Gram negative bacteria, including Enterobacterales (CRE), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii are an emerging cause of healthcare associated infection and accordingly a global public healthcare concern due to high levels of antimicrobial resistance and ability for widespread transmission. Thus it is important to identify carriers quickly to prevent and control the spread in hospital and community settings and also to aid antibiotic stewardship.
