Abstract:13The emergence of multiple carbapenemases and the consequent multi drug resistance in bacteria 14 constitute a grave concern in the management of critical care patients and also in community 15 acquired infections. Detection of carbapenamase activity helps to understand the possible 16 mechanism(s) of carbapenem resistance in the microorganism. Identification of carbapenemases 17 is currently being done by various phenotypic methods and molecular methods. However, 18 innovative biochemical and spectrophotomet… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
