Evaluation of carbapenem inactivation method-based phenotypic assays for the detection of GES-type carbapenemases in Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii
ABSTRACT Detection of GES-type carbapenemases remains challenging because of their low prevalence and frequently weak hydrolytic activity against carbapenems. Carbapenem inactivation method (CIM)-based assays are widely used as phenotypic screening tools for carbapenemase detection; however, their performance in large...
