DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofx163.923
Abstract: Abstract Background Early detection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE) is crucial for selection of effective treatment. While KPC is the most prevalent carbapenemase in the US, phenotypic screening methods, such as the carbapenemase inactivation method (CIM) and… read more here.
