Replacement of the Double Meropenem Disc Test with a Lateral Flow Assay for the Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> in Clinical Laboratory Practice

Replacement of the Double Meropenem Disc Test with a Lateral Flow Assay for the Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> in Clinical Laboratory Practice

The prompt detection of carbapenemases among Gram-negative bacteria isolated from patients’ clinical infection samples and surveillance cultures is important for the implementation of infection control measures.
