Abstract: Background Enterobacterales are the most common pathogens for nosocomial infections. The emergence and spread of KPC, NDM, and OXA-48-like carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales with their extensively drug-resistant characteristics have posed great threats to public health. This study… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12010096
Abstract: The identification of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is important for treating and controlling hospital infections. The recommended methods for their identification require a long waiting time, technical training, and expertise. Lateral flow immunoassays such… read more here.
