Abstract excerpt

Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae have emerged as an important pathogens in nosocomial infections with high mortality rate. Although the modified Hodge test (MHT) is recommended for phenotypic detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, high false-positive rates were reported for MHT results. The MHT has acceptable sensitivity (98.0 %), but it lacks specificity (73.6 %). In this study, we...
