Phenotypic versus molecular assays for detecting carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales from urinary tract infections

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) have been identified as a public health problem. Treatment options for CRE are limited as they are mostly resistant to βeta-lactams, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones as well as carbapenems. The present study aims to evaluate the performance of three phenotypic methods compared to a molecular-based technique for carbapenemase detection in Enterobacte...
