Fig. 1. National surveillance data of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) in Korea from 2018 to 2023. The line represents the annual number of CRE cases with the percentage of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (%CPE). The bars indicate the distribution of carbapenemase genotypes including KPC, NDM, OXA, and others among CPE isolates in each year.
