Question
What are all the different types of infections the following antibiotic resistant microbes associated with Carbapenme-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA)?
Expert Solution

Step 1
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria occurs when germs like bacteria develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are difficult and sometimes impossible, to treat.
