Ceftazidime-avibactam and Meropenem Double Disk Diffusion Test for Identifying Carbapanem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Distinguishing Between Serine and Metallo-β-Lactamase Producing Organisms

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 CarbaNP, cannot easily distingui...
