In vitro rapid diagnostic test for the detection of OXA-163, OXA-48 and KPC carbapenemases in bacterial culture.
KPC represent one of the most prevalent carbapenemase in many countries. On the other hand, class D OXA-48 type carbapenemases and variants represent the most challenging resistance mechanism to detect for clinical laboratories. Particularly, the OXA-163 variant is a difficult-to-identify enzyme.
