Does the presence of multiple β-lactamases in Gram-negative bacilli impact the results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests and extended-spectrum β-lactamase and carbapenemase confirmation methods?

Does the presence of multiple β-lactamases in Gram-negative bacilli impact the results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests and extended-spectrum β-lactamase and carbapenemase confirmation methods?

Objectives: Many multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (MDR-GNB) harbour multiple β-lactamases. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of multiple β-lactamase carriage on the accuracy of susceptibility tests and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase confirmation methods....
