Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Large Public Acute-Care Healthcare System, New York, New York, USA, 2016–2022

  22 September 2023

Controlling the spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales is a global priority. Using National Healthcare Safety Network data, we characterized the changing epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in a large public health system in New York, New York, USA. During 2016–2020, CRKP cases declined; however, during 2021–June 2022, a notable increase occurred. 

An aggressive and universal program involving surveillance and isolation will be needed to control the spread of CRKP in the city of New York.
