Abstract
species that are resistant to carbapenem antibiotics without producing carbapenemase (non-CP-CRE). Of the 30,548 reported cases of CRE infection, 71.0% (21,695 cases) were CPE infections, showing a 46.9% increase compared to 2021 (14,769 cases). The annual increase in CRE infections is becoming an increasingly concerning social burden, thus emphasizing the need for continuous prevention and management, along with the establishment of a surveillance system for identifying the epidemiological characteristics. The government plans to continue efforts with local governments and medical institutions to prevent the spread of CRE infections, including strengthened CRE management measures in the 2nd Comprehensive Measures for Prevention and Management of Healthcare-Related Infections (2023-2027). In addition, it will strengthen the cooperative management system between medical institutions and the government and continue to implement various management methods such as infection control education.
