Direct answer:
The CDC highlights several MDROs as current targets for containment and
prevention. Key examples commonly cited include Candida auris, carbapenemase-
producing Enterobacterales (such as CRE with enzymes like KPC, NDM, VIM,
OXA-48), carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas spp. (CP-CRPA), carbapenemase-
producing Acinetobacter baumannii (CP-CRAB), and other pan-resistant organisms
that are not susceptible to most available antimicrobials. These organisms are
targeted because they have high potential to spread in healthcare settings and
are associated with severe illnesses and limited treatment options.
If you need more precise, jurisdiction-specific lists or the latest tier classifications (e.g., Tier 2 vs Tier 3 vs endemic/Tiers 4), I can pull the most current CDC and state health department guidance and summarize which organisms are currently listed as targeted MDROs in your region.
