A possible alternative to the error prone modified Hodge test to correctly identify the carbapenemase producing Gram-negative bacteria

open access: yesIndian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2014
The modified Hodge test (MHT) is widely used as a screening test for the detection of carbapenemases in Gram-negative bacteria. This test has several pitfalls in terms of validity and interpretation. Also the test has a very low sensitivity in detecting the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM).

Comparative evaluation of a chromogenic agar medium, the modified Hodge test, and a battery of meropenem-inhibitor discs for detection of carbapenemase activity in Enterobacteriaceae. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Clin Microbiol, 2011
ABSTRACT Three phenotypic methods (modified Hodge test, chromogenic agar, and meropenem discs combined with specific inhibitors) used for the detection of carbapenemase activity were tested on a panel of characterized Enterobacteriaceae expressing various β-lactamase mechanisms. Overall, the meropenem-plus-

Phenotypic methods for detection of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) production in multidrug resistant gram negative bacilli – comparative study

open access: yesJournal of Applied Pharmaceutical Research, 2023
Introduction: One of the most common mechanism of resistance of bacterial pathogens to β-lactam antibiotics is production of β-lactamase, there are different types of Beta lactamases, which are expressed by drug resistant gram-negative bacteria ...
