EDTA-modified carbapenem inactivation method (eCIM) for detecting IMP Metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa: an assessment of increasing EDTA concentrations.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Prompt identification of carbapenemase-harboring organisms is valuable in informing therapeutic and infection-control measures. The modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) and EDTA-modified carbapenem inactivation method (eCIM) are inexpensive and easy to interpret phenotypic tests endorsed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) for the detection of carbapenemase-harboring...
