Risk factors for, and molecular epidemiology and clinical outcomes of, carbapenem‐ and polymyxin‐resistant Gram‐negative bacterial infections in pregnant women, infants, and toddlers: a systematic review and meta‐analyses

In the following systematic review and meta-analyses, we report several conclusions about resistance to carbapenem and polymyxin last-resort antibiotics for treating multidrug-resistant bacterial infections among pregnant women and infants. Resistance to carbapenems and polymyxins is increasing, even in otherwise vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, toddlers, and infants, for whom therapeutic options are limited. In almost all countries,...
