The Development of an IMP Metallo-β-lactamase Detection Assay Using a Bioinformatic Approach

BACKGROUND: Carbapenem antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria is becoming increasingly common. One such resistance gene, IMP metallo-β-lactamase, has been found worldwide. With 48 different IMP alleles across many genera of bacteria, no known assay can detect all 48 IMP alleles. We develope...
