Abstract:In the absence of a molecule that would collectively inhibit both metallo-β-lactamases and serine reactive carbapenemases, containment of their genes' spreading is the main weapon currently available for confronting carbepenem resistance in hospitals. Cost effective methodologies rapidly detecting carbapenemase producing enterobacteria (CPE) would facilitate such measures. Herein a low cost CPE detection method was developed that was based on the direct colorimetry of the yellow shift caused by the accumulatio… Show more
