Screening of Metallo-Beta-Lactamase (MBL) Producing Gram-Negative Isolates Resistant to Carbapenems by Imipenem-EDTA/Meropenem-EDTA Disk Method and by Modified Hodge Test

Screening of Metallo-Beta-Lactamase (MBL) Producing Gram-Negative Isolates Resistant to Carbapenems by Imipenem-EDTA/Meropenem-EDTA Disk Method and by Modified Hodge Test

Although outer membrane impermeability is mainly responsible for recently increasing carbapenem resistance of gram-negative bacilli, metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-producing strains have been reported and new MBL enzymes have been identified. In this study, screening of MBL-producing clinical isolates...
