Abstract excerpt

Thirty-five Bacteroides fragilis clinical isolates with varying susceptibility to meropenem were analysed with a prototype of a double-ended Etest strip containing meropenem +/- EDTA, designed for the detection of the CfiA metallo-beta-lactamase. Phenotypic results obtained with this new Etest strip were related to the genotype and compared to the results of the Etest containing imipenem +/- EDTA. Whereas the...
