Abstract excerpt
The VITEK®2 AES β-lactam phenotypes of 488 Enterobacterales from North and Latin America generated by the VITEK®2 were compared to the resistance genotypes provided by whole genome sequencing (WGS). The AES provided phenotypic reports for 447 (91.6 %) isolates, including isolates harbouring carbapenemases (195; 43.6 %), ESBLs (103; 23.0 %) and transferable AmpCs (tAmpC; 28; 6.3 %) genes, as well as wildtype...
