Abstract

Early identification of infections caused by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) can help to optimize patient treatment and improve outcome. In this study, protocols for rapid detection of carbapenemase production directly from positive blood cultures were developed applying a concentration and hemolysis step before a test for carbapenemase production was performed.
