Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The degree of antimicrobial resistance demonstrated by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) represents a growing public health challenge. Conventional methods for detecting CPE involve culture-based techniques with lengthy incubation steps. There is a need to develop rapid and accurate methods for the detection of resistance, for implementation into clinical diagnostics.
