How contagious is carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE infection?

The infections do not become more or less contagious by resistance to antibiotics. Only thing becomes difficult is how to treat the disease. You kill a person and that person is dead. You kill an antibiotic and millions are dead.

Is carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE infection the same as the 'flesh eating bacteria' called MRSA?
No, there are different bacteria.
Should you EVER take someone else's antibiotics as prevention against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE infection?
Absolutely NOT. The reason super bugs like MSRA and the new carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE infection is so terrible is because people OVER-USE antibiotics! Never take anyone else's medicines. Always finish the antibiotic given to you for an infection. Never take antibiotics for a cold, flu or other viral infection. Never take antibiotics as "prevention"-- UNLESS a doctor instructs you to do so.

Who would be most affected by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE infections?
CRE can live unnoticed in the intestines and not cause any problems in otherwise healthy people. People with weakened immune systems are most likely to be affected by CRE infections. If the CRE bacteria can get to the lungs, urinary tract or bloodstream, they can cause major problems because they are resistant to every antibiotic commonly used. If the same bacteria are NOT CRE, they still cause pneumonia in the lungs, urinary tract infections, or sepsis in the blood, but the patient can be treated successfully with antibiotics. With CRE versions of the same bacteria, antibiotics don't help the patient. In the example of the CRE bacteria getting into the bloodstream, as many as 1/2 of the infected patients die from the infection.
