Development and Application of a Pragmatic Algorithm to Guide Definitive Carbapenemase Testing to Identify Carbapenemase-Producing <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>

Development and Application of a Pragmatic Algorithm to Guide Definitive Carbapenemase Testing to Identify Carbapenemase-Producing <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>

A minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) derived algorithm, predictive of carbapenemase production, was developed using a challenge set (<i>n</i> = 92) of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> (PA), including carbapenemase-producing (CP), cephalosporinase and/or efflux/porin mutation...
