Abstract:Nowadays, the rapid growth and prevalence of multi-drug resistant(MDR) bacteria in the global scope have been tak-en the challenge for the treatment of infectious diseases. Meantime MDR has brought direct impact on the prognosis of the patients and caused serious social and economic burden. The most serious extensive drug resistant (XDR) bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniaand and Acinetobacter baumanii force us unable to choose antibiotics for treating the patients with MDR infec-tions. In order to deal with the MDR, we need focus on drug-resistant surveillance to guide clinical treatment and management, also-explore new therapeutic measures constantly. We perform a review of the development in epidemiology and treatment of carba-pen-em-resistant bacteria.
