Sherry, J.C. Kwong, D.R.M. Cameron, D.A. Williamson, M. Easton, B.P. Howden Communicable Disease Control Conference 27 th June 217 Background Carbapenemase producing enterobacteriaceae (CPE) Carbapenemases, enzymes that confer resistance to carbapenems Increased morbidity and mortality Outbreak potential Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States, 213. Atlanta, GA,
