Evaluation of three selective chromogenic media, CHROMagar ESBL, CHROMagar CTX-M and CHROMagar KPC, for the detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing OXA-48 carbapenemase.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The role of single mutations has been extensively studied myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), but the impact of genetic aberrations in the context of other mutations is less well understood. BCOR is an epigenetic transcriptional corepressor. In MDS, BCOR mutations are rare and certain mutations are associated...
