Difficulty in detecting low levels of polymyxin resistance in clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates: evaluation of Rapid Polymyxin NP test, Colispot Test and SuperPolymyxin medium

Difficulty in detecting low levels of polymyxin resistance in clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates: evaluation of Rapid Polymyxin NP test, Colispot Test and SuperPolymyxin medium

Polymyxins are important therapeutic options for treating infections, mainly those caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Specific chemical characteristics of polymyxins make it difficult to perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing, especially within the clinical laboratory. Here...
