Evaluation of the chromogenic Cica- -Test for detecting extended-spectrum, AmpC and metallo- -lactamases
3 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Extended-spectrum, metallo- and AmpC beta-lactamases usually are sought subsequently to susceptibility testing, meaning that producers are not identified until 72 h after a clinical specimen is taken. Chromogenic tests might usefully shorten this delay, and we investigated the Cica-beta-Test for this purpose. METHODS: Reference and clinical strains with known beta-lactamases, or controls, were grown...
