Start Activity


Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for infectious disease clinicians, epidemiologists, public health officials, geneticists, internists, and other clinicians who treat and manage patients with or at risk for carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli.

The goal of this activity is to describe the geographic distribution of different carbapenemase genes (including associations with dominant sequence types, clades, and underlying mobile genetic elements), other β-lactamases, antibiotic resistance genes, and virulence factors, based on short read whole genome sequencing of 229 carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli (2015-17) from 36 countries (including 20 lower- and middle-income countries).

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

  • Assess the global distribution of different carbapenemase genes, based on a genome sequencing study of 229 carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli (2015-17) from 36 countries
  • Evaluate antimicrobial resistance determinants and plasmid replicon types, virulence-associated factors, and carbapenemase gene flanking regions and plasmid analysis, based on a genome sequencing study of 229 carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli (2015-17) from 36 countries
  • Determine the public health implications of the global distribution of different carbapenemase genes and associated factors, based on a genome sequencing study of 229 carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli (2015-17) from 36 countries
