Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales are increasingly reported worldwide, posing significant treatment challenges, especially in vulnerable pediatric populations. This study describes the molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales isolated from infants under one year of age in Niger. This prospective case series reports on 14 children < 1 year old with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales isolates. A total of 14 isolates were analyzed, pred
