The modified Hodge test is a useful tool for ruling out Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase [PDF]
Clinics, 2012 OBJECTIVE: Enterobacteriaceae bacteria harboring Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase are a serious worldwide threat. The molecular identification of these pathogens is not routine in Brazilian hospitals, and a rapid phenotypic screening test is desirable.

Value of the Modified Hodge Test for Detection of Emerging Carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2012 The modified Hodge test has an excellent sensitivity for detecting enterobacterial isolates producing Ambler class A (KPC) and class D (OXA-48) carbapenemases. Its sensitivity is low for NDM-1 producers (50%) but is increased to 85.7% by adding ZnSO

Modified Hodge test: A simple and effective test for detection of carbapenemase production [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2011 Background and Objectives: Resistance among bacterial isolates is the leading cause of increased mortality and morbidity worldwide. Carbapenems once thought to be effective are becoming ineffective mostly due to the emergence of carbapenemase. This study
