Abstract:
:BD Phoenix™ is an automated bacterial identification and susceptibility testing system. Here, its performance in screening IMP-producing Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated. The system identified 97.8% of IMP producers as being nonsusceptible to imipenem or meropenem, which was higher than that identified by the broth microdilution method (91.3%, imipenem; 41.3%, meropenem).
