Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland)·September 18, 2026·PMID 42792078

Why it matters

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales infections carry high mortality and limited treatment options. This analysis clarifies which BL/BLI agent to choose based on resistance mechanism, supporting a precision medicine approach guided by rapid molecular diagnostics. It also highlights the urgent need for new agents against metallo-β-lactamase producers.
