10 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: There is an urgent need for accurate and fast diagnostic tests to identify MDR bacteria. Here, we evaluated an immunochromatographic assay (the OXA-48 K-SeT assay) to detect OXA-48-like carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae from culture colonies. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-one collection isolates with characterized β-lactamase content and 185 non-duplicate consecutive clinical isolates...
