Rapid identification of carbapenemase genes in gram-negative bacteria with an oligonucleotide microarray-based assay.

Rapid identification of carbapenemase genes in gram-negative bacteria with an oligonucleotide microarray-based assay.

Rapid molecular identification of carbapenemase genes in Gram-negative bacteria is crucial for infection control and prevention, surveillance and for epidemiological purposes. Furthermore, it may have a significant impact upon determining the appropriate initial treatment and greatly benefit for cri...
