摘要: Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae may display MICs to carbapenems within susceptible or intermediate ranges, prompting confirmatory testing. Four phenotypic methods detect KPC producers were evaluated against a collection of clinical isolates. Meropenem–phenylboronic acid double disk synergy testing demonstrated the best performance with 100% sensitivity and specificity.
