ABSTRACT

Infectious disease burden and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are of major health crisis globally, particularly in developing countries like India which has an incredibly high population rate but weak socio-economic status. Enterobacteriaceae has been evolving as one of the most important causative agent of nosocomial and community acquired infections endangering a greater number of individuals. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has categorized Carbapenem Resistance Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae as urgent and serious threats to human health. With the recent pandemic crisis of covid-19, there is no doubt that the present rate of multidrug resistant (MDR) will become more complex and diverse in the coming days. This review succinct the rising MDR Enterobacteriaceae, AMR pattern and its epidemiological status in India with special reference to covid-19 and co-infection from varied sources. Key word: Carbapenem Resistance Enterobacteriaceae, Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases, COVID-19 & Bacterial Co-infection
