Use of Boronic Acid Disk Tests To Detect Extended- Spectrum β-Lactamases in Clinical Isolates of KPC Carbapenemase-Possessing Enterobacteriaceae
3 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
We evaluated boronic acid (BA)-based methods for their ability to detect extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) among clinical isolates of KPC-producing members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. A total of 155 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 141), Escherichia coli (n = 6), Enterobacter aerogenes (n = 6), and Klebsiella oxytoca (n = 2) genotypically confirmed to be KPC producers were analyzed. As many as...
