Comparison of Phenotypic Tests and an Immunochromatographic Assay and Development of a New Algorithm for Detection of OXA-48-like Carbapenemases
29 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT OXA-48 is the most prevalent carbapenemase in Enterobacteriaceae in Europe and the Middle East, but it is frequently missed because many isolates display low MICs for carbapenems. Furthermore, in contrast to metallo-β-lactamases or Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPC), no specific inhibitor is available for the phenotypic detection of OXA-48. Molecular detection of bla OXA-48 is the “gold standard”...
