Abstract

South Korean CRE notifications more than doubled between 2020 and 2024, with no inflection in the trajectory. Imipenem resistance in long-term care facilities reached 52.3% for Klebsiella pneumoniae and a 12.93-fold higher risk ratio than small/medium hospitals for Escherichia coli. Current surveillance cannot identify individual facility reservoirs, requiring structural reform.

韩国碳青霉烯耐药性日益增长，长期护理设施是水库。

在2020年至2024年期间，韩国的CRE通知增加了一倍多，轨迹没有变化。长期护理机构中肺炎克雷伯菌的亚胺培南耐药性达到52.3%，大肠杆菌的风险比为中小型医院的12.93倍。目前的监测不能识别单个设施水库，需要进行结构改革。
