Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is an important pathogen of nosocomial infection,which is the focus of nosocomial infection prevention and control,and also a global public health problem. Among all hospital wards,CRE colonization and infection in intensive care unit (ICU) is particularly severe. This review focuses on the studies on CRE colonization and infection in ICU,and sorts out the characteristics,infection sites and risk factors of CRE infection in ICU patients around the world,so as to provide a reference for the monitoring,prevention and control of CRE nosocomial infection.

Key words: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, Intensive care unit, Nosocomial infection
