Comparison of Lateral Flow Test and PCR for Carbapenemase Detection in Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and the Ceftazidime-Avibactam Resistance Profile.
BACKGROUND Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp) strains are a major public health threat. AIM This study aimed to compare multiplex lateral flow immunochromatographic testing (LFT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detecting carbapenemase genes in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKp). A second...
