Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global threat, with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) representing a significant concern due to limited therapeutic options. This study investigated the prevalence of carbapenemase genes in CRE strains isolated from tracheal aspirates of patients at a Brazilian university hospital between January 2020 and August 2023. Bacterial identification was conducted using MALDI-TOF, while carbapenemase genes were detected by qPCR. Demographic and clinical data were collected, and univariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test (p
