Detection of Carbapenemase Production in Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates by Rapid Carbapenemase Detection Method in an OXA-48 Endemic Region
Zeynep Çizmeci
Abstract:Background: Carbapenem resistance is one of the major global public health threats caused by the overuse or misuse of carbapenems, which are often the last resort in treating multidrug-resistant infections. Today, timely detection of carbapenemase-producing organisms is critical for infection control. Therefore, rapid and accurate detection of carbapenemases using a cost-effective method with high sensitivity and specificity is essential to guide appropriate treatment and prevent further spread.
