Abstract:
A combined-disk method using imipenem and cloxacillin was evaluated to discriminate between carbapenemase-producing ( n = 56) and nonproducing ( n = 62) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa . With a cloxacillin load of 4,000 μg/disk, this very simple method showed a sensitivity and a specificity of 100%, irrespective of the type of carbapenemase produced.
