Performance of the Phoenix bacterial identification system compared with disc diffusion methods for identifying extended-spectrum beta-lactamase, AmpC and KPC producers.

PMID: 194297542009USA

Key Findings

The study highlights the limitations of the Phoenix system in accurately detecting ESBLs, AmpC, and KPC producers, emphasizing the need for confirmatory methods. It identifies bla KPC as a gene conferring resistance to carbapenems.
