Abstract
Current BD Phoenix and Vitek 2 methodologies were assessed as screens for KPC β-lactamases. Using carbapenem MICs or expert system interpretations as screens, both systems exhibited high (97%) sensitivity in tests with 103 well-characterized Gram-negative isolates, 77 of which were KPC producers.Entities:
