ABSTRACT
We developed a carbapenemase test based on the ability of imipenem to inhibit noncarbapenemase ß-lactamases. The test uses bacterial isolates with a fluorescent ß-lactamase substrate, producing objective results with 100% sensitivity and specificity in 10 minutes. The assay is inexpensive and consists of only 1 mixing step.
