Abstract

Resistance to carbapenems, mainly described in Enterobacteriaceae such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, has recently become an important global health problem, due to lots of the enzymes that give the resistance to the bacterias have a world distribution. Facts that promote their dissemination are varied, for example, the high variability of types of carbapenemases, migratory phenomenons, tourism or lack of hygiene and asepsis in medical centers, although there aren’t conclusive studies about this theme nowadays. In order to deal with this problem, effective early diagnose systems and also opportune measures of isolation are need in order to avoid the transmission between patients, since the majority of this infections are caused by nosocomial contagious. New treatment options are also necessary to treat these infections, which are resistant to many different drugs, although nowadays this alternatives are limited and basically based on combined therapy.
