Abstract excerpt
The growing crisis of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria requires that current technologies permit the rapid detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (bla(ESBL)) and Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (bla(KPC)) genes. In the present study, we assessed the performance characteristics of a commercially available nucleic acid microarray system for the detection of bla(ESBL) and bla(KPC) genes...
