Detection of rare carbapenemases in Enterobacterales—comparison of two colorimetric and three CIM-based carbapenemase assays

Detection of rare carbapenemases in Enterobacterales—comparison of two colorimetric and three CIM-based carbapenemase assays

ABSTRACTRapid and reliable detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is crucial for prompt treatment and infection control. Most assays target the primary four enzymes (KPC, OXA-48-like, VIM, and NDM), often missing less common variants (e.g., GES, IMI, OXA-23, and OXA-58). Therefo...
