Comparison of the Modified Hodge Test and the Carba NP Test for Detection of Carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae Isolates

Mikrobiyoloji Bulteni, 2016
A rapid, practical, and accurate identification of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates is crucial for the implementation of appropriate infection control measures and proper treatment of the infections. For this purpose, a large number of phenotypic test methods have been developed, although none has 100% sensitivity and specificity ...
