Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Early identification of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CP-CRE) is critical for timely therapy. Rapid phenotypic tests identifying these resistance mechanisms from pure bacterial colonies have been developed. OBJECTIVES: To determine the operating characteristics of available rapid phenotypic tests when applied directly to positive blood cultures....
