Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a major public-health threat. The most important mechanism of carbapenem resistance in CRE is carbapenemase production. Early identification of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) leads to improved clinical outcomes. This systematic review aimed to assess the accuracy and applicability of the modified Hodge test (MHT), the carbapenemase...
