Characterization of Plasmid-Mediated AmpC and Carbapenemases among Iranain Nosocomial Isolates of Using Phenotyping and Genotyping Methods
Plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamases (PMABLs) and carbapenemases are emerging groups of antimicrobial-resistance determinants. The aims of the study were to evaluate the occurrence of PMABLs and carbapenemases in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and compare the test performance of various phenotypic methods for detection of these enzymes in Iran.
