Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this investigation was to compare several phenotypic methods, including combined disk tests (CDT) containing metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) inhibitors or cloxacillin, and the Carba NP test for the detection of carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CPPA). A new CDT using imipenem (10 μg) ± cloxacillin 4,000 μg and the Carba NP test were evaluated to detect CPPA. In addition, four commercially...
