Abstract
The objective of this study was to describe the frequency of resistance determinants in meropenem-nonsusceptible (MEM-NS) Enterobacterales isolates collected in 2018 and 2019 as a part of the ATLAS global surveillance program. Among a total of 39,368 Enterobacterales isolates collected in 2018 and 2019, 5.7% were MEM-NS (MIC ≥2 μg/mL).
