Evaluation of the CARBA PAcE test, a colorimetric imipenem hydrolysis test for rapid detection of carbapenemase activity

ABSTRACT There is an urgent need for accurate and fast diagnostic tests to identify carbapenemase-producing bacteria. Here, we evaluated a colorimetric imipenem hydrolysis test, called the CARBA PAcE test, to detect carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). We tested a collection of 270...
