First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study reviews medical records of over 500 children in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) to find out what makes them more likely to get or carry a hard-to-treat bacteria called CRE. The goal is to identify risk factors and understand the bacteria better. The results could help doctors prevent these infections in the future.
