Abstract excerpt
Infection with Aeromonas spp. can be difficult to treat due to the common presence of multiple β-lactamase genes. Although the presence of β-lactamase genes appears to be mostly species-specific, species-level identification of Aeromonas spp. is currently unreliable. Routine phenotypic susceptibility testing is unreliable for the detection of chromosomal cphA metallo-β-lactamase-mediated carbapenem resistance,...
