Emergence of carbapenem resistance (CR) is a health concern of pertinent importance. Epidemiological surveillance of CR at global and indigenous level (Pakistan) can help to improve infection control and establish pharmacovigilance programs. This study evaluates the prevalence of clinically significant CR isolates, and its genetic variant distribution among geographical regions of Pakistan.
