Usefulness of Xpert® Carba-R on enrichment broth for the early detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales

ABSTRACT: Early detection of patients colonized with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales is crucial to limit their spread. Molecular biology tests are rapid but might miss low-level carriage. Culture-based methods using enrichment are cheap and detect low-level carriage but cause delay. Two cli...
