Abstract
Providencia species are Gram-negative bacteria that belong to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They have intrinsic resistance to colistin and tigecycline, which makes treatment of the multidrug-resistant strains of Providencia challenging. Carbapenem-resistant Providencia species are increasingly reported. In this review, patients' characteristics, resistance mechanisms, treatment and infection control measures of carbapenem-resistant Providencia species in the literature are described.
