Rapid and automated screening of carbapenemase- and ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria from rectal swabs using chromogenic agar media and the ScanStation device

ABSTRACT The ScanSation 100 device (Interscience, France) is an incubator allowing real-time detection of bacterial colony growth by frequently imaging agar plates over time, counting CFU, and detecting colony color. This study evaluated its performance for the early detection of carbapenemase-produ...
