28 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate four phenotypic tests for the detection of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a low MBL prevalence setting. METHODS: Sixty clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa resistant to imipenem and/or meropenem and seven MBL-positive control strains were examined by: (i) MBL Etest; (ii) combined imipenem discs supplemented with EDTA (IPM-EDTA); (iii) beta-lactam discs...
