Abstract excerpt
We evaluated the performance of five phenotypic tests [Modified Hodge Test (MHT); combined-disk test (CDT) using phenylboronic acid, EDTA, and cloxacillin; CarbaNP and CarbAcinetoNP; Blue-Carba, Carbapenembac™ and Carbapenembac Metallo™] for carbapenemase detection in Gram-negative bacilli (GNB). A total of 73 carbapenemase producers and 27 non-carbapenemase producers were tested. All GNB were subcultured onto...
