[ 1 ] - Comparison of ertapenem non-susceptibility with 2-mercaptopropionic acid phenotypic tests in predicting NDM-1 and IMP-1 production in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli
Background: A routine phenotypic test has not been recommended for detection of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae species such as Escherichia coli. The current study was conducted to compare the 2-Mercaptopropionic acid (2-MPA) phenotypic method and ertapenem non-susceptibility test with polymerase chain reaction in predicting the production of MBLs in clinical isolates o...
