Development and Evaluation of a Novel Protein-Based Assay for Specific Detection of KPC β-Lactamases from <named-content content-type="genus-species">Klebsiella pneumoniae</named-content> Clinical Isolates

ABSTRACT Carbapenemases confer resistance to nearly all β-lactam antibiotics. The extensive spread of carbapenemase-producing multidrug-resistant bacteria contributes significantly to hospital-acquired infections. We have developed a novel protein-based binding assay that identifies KPC β-lactamases...
