	Number of CPE isolates^a	Number of persons with CPE^b	Number of persons with one unique CPE isolate submitted	Number of persons with multiple unique CPE isolates submitted^b

^aOnly one unique species/carba-allele combination was included for the period 2017–2019. When similar unique species/carba-allele combinations were submitted in multiple years, they were only included in the first year in which they were recorded
^bPersons were only included once for the period 2017–2019. When isolates were submitted for the same person in multiple years, they were only included in the first year in which they were recorded
