Closing the Gap Between Phenotypic and Genotypic Detection of Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae by New Modified Carbapenem Inactivation Method [PDF]
Introduction: Carbapenems have become one of the last resort of antimicrobials. But in last few years, Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have been reported worldwide.

Discrepancy between reference phenotypic and genotypic detection of cphA metallo-β-lactamase in Aeromonas spp. [PDF]
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.
