Comparison of the performance of three variations of the Carbapenem Inactivation Method (CIM, modified CIM [mCIM] and in-house method (iCIM)) for the detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales and non-fermenters

Comparison of the performance of three variations of the Carbapenem Inactivation Method (CIM, modified CIM [mCIM] and in-house method (iCIM)) for the detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales and non-fermenters

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the performance of an in-house CIM (iCIM) modification with the CIM and mCIM for the detection of carbapenemase production in 149 well characterised isolates (70 carbapenemase producers and 79 non-carbapenemase producers). Methods: Isolates were...
