Infections with enterobacteria producing carbapenemases at the University Hospitals of Strasbourg - descriptive epidemiology and risk factors for infection in the event of colonization There is a worrying situation of an increase in the number of patients colonized with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) at HUS. 7 to 15% of patients colonized with EPC would develop an infection with EPC. The cohorts published mainly concern patients hospitalized in intensive care. The associated mortality reported in the literature is high (\> 25%) and greater than that associated with infection with the same bacterium sensitive to carbapenems.
