The combined-disk boronic acid test as an accurate strategy for the detection of KPC carbapenemase in Central America
Introduction: Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC) outbreaks may cause a huge economical burden on developing countries. Furthermore, KPC can be challenging to detect. We describe the laboratory strategy for the detection of KPC from 2011 to 2013 in a tertiary care hospital in Central...
