Comparison of phenotypic and PCR methods for detection of carbapenemases production by Enterobacteriaceae

Comparison of phenotypic and PCR methods for detection of carbapenemases production by Enterobacteriaceae

Dissemination of carbapenem resistance via Enterobacteriaceae, particularly among Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, is a major public health concern. Rapid methods for determining antimicrobial susceptibility are important to ensure adequate and appropriate use of antimicrobial agents and...
