Carbapenem Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Not Detected by Automated Susceptibility Testing

Carbapenem Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Not Detected by Automated Susceptibility Testing

Detecting β-lactamase–mediated carbapenem resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and other Enterobacteriaceae is an emerging problem. In this study, 15 blaKPC-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae that showed discrepant results for imipenem and meropenem from 4 New York City hospitals were charact...
