Open Forum Infect Dis . 2022 Feb; 9(2):ofab617. PMID: 35106312
Background: Carbapenemase-producing, carbapenem-resistant (CP-CRPA) is a global challenge. However, detection efforts can be laborious because numerous mechanisms produce carbapenem resistance. A minimum inhibitory concentration-based algorithm (imipenem- or meropenem-resistant plus ceftazidime-nonsusceptible...
