Prevalence (%) of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenem-resistant organisms by country in Southeast Asia, adopted from reference 5 (COMPACT II study). The organisms were obtained during April – July 2010, from 5 Centers in Asia-Pacific countries including New Zealand (data not shown), the Philippines (3 centers, 16 A. baumannii isolates, 90 P. aeruginosa isolates, 70 Enterobacteriaceae isolates), Singapore (3 centers, 21 A. baumannii isolates, 120 P. aeruginosa isolates, 96 Enterobacteriaceae isolates), Thailand (10 centers, 59 A. baumannii isolates, 296 P. aeruginosa isolates, 239 Enterobacteriaceae isolates) and Vietnam (3 centers, 19 A. baumannii isolates, 90 P. aeruginosa isolates, 71 Enterobacteriaceae isolates). There are small numbers of A. baumannii isolations tested from reference 5. Prevalence of CRAB in other studies are #70.5-91 % (Singapore) [6, 43, 44], 46.7-80 % (Thailand) [2931] and §more than 90 % (Vietnam) [48]. *Recent studies have been shown the increasing prevalence of CRE in Singapore and Thailand [1, 3, 4, 6, 22]. Abbreviation; CR, carbapenem–resistant; CRE, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae; ESBLs, extended-spectrum β-lactamases
