Diagnostic Use of PCR in Carbapenamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE): An Improved Method to Overcome the presence of inhibitors for DNA Extraction from Blood Cultures
2018-05-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Carpanenamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) has emerged as a threat to hospitalized patients. Phenotypic test such as Modified hodge test was less sensitive and specific especially to detect bla NDM-1 which is the most predominant genotype in this region. Nucleic acid amplification technology offers improved specificity and sensitivity. However, there is limitation in this method which...
