## Purpose of review Carbapenem-resistant organisms (CROs), including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Enterobacterales, are a threat worldwide. This review will cover mechanisms of resistance within CROs and challenges with identification and treatment of these organisms while pointing out unresolved issues and ongoing challenges. ## Recent findings The treatment of CROs has expanded through newer therapeutic options.
