Direct Testing for KPC-Mediated Carbapenem Resistance from Blood Samples Using a T2 Magnetic Resonance Based Assay

Molecular-based carbapenem resistance testing in Gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) is currently limited because of the reliance on positive blood culture (BC) samples. The T2Resistance™ panel may now allow the detection of carbapenemase- and other β-lactamase encoding genes direc...
