Adjustment of Modified Carbapenem Inactivation Method Conditions for Rapid Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Acinetobacter baumannii. [PDF]
The existing modified carbapenem inactivation methods (mCIMs) recommended by the CLSI for detecting carbapenemase production have not been applicable for Acinetobacter baumannii. We evaluated the influence of matrices used in mCIMs and CIMTris on the stability of the disks for detecting carbapenemase producers and suggested optimal mCIM conditions for ...

Evaluation of modified carbapenem inactivation method for suspected carbapenemase among Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates. [PDF]
Modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) testing was currently recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) for detection of carbapenemase among Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates. In this study, a panel of 145 clinical strains were collected for evaluating the mCIM for detection of carbapenemase.

The modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) is a simple phenotypic screening method for detecting carbapenemase production by Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We recently developed another modified carbapenem inactivation method (CIMTris), in which carbapenemase is extracted from bacteria with Tris-HCl buffer, to detect ...

Performance of seven carbapenemase detection assays in Pseudomonas aeruginosa across different epidemiological settings: a multicenter cross-sectional study [PDF]
The detection of carbapenemases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa remains challenging due to a great variety of other resistance mechanisms, and most laboratories, therefore, do not test for them.

EDTA-Modified Carbapenem Inactivation Method: a Phenotypic Method for Detecting Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae. [PDF]
The increase in the prevalence and impact of infections caused by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae is a global health concern. Therefore, rapid and accurate methods to detect these organisms in any clinical microbiology laboratory, including those in resource-limited settings, are essential to prevent and ...
