Rapid detection and identification of strains carrying carbapenemases directly from positive blood cultures using MALDI-TOF MS Hoyos-Mallecot, Yannick Riazzo, C. Miranda-Casas, C. Rojo Martín, María Dolores Gutiérrez Fernández, José Navarro Marí, José María MALDI-TOF Carbapenemases Blood culture MALDI-TOF MS has been evaluated to detect carbapenemases activity and pathogen identification directly from positive blood cultures. 21 non-carbapenemase producers and 19 carbapenemase producers Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were included in the study. This technique is simple and detects carbapenemases in 4.5h with high sensitivity and specificity. 2024-03-12T10:23:35Z 2024-03-12T10:23:35Z 2014-10 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Hoyos-Mallecot Y, Riazzo C, Miranda-Casas C, Rojo-Martín MD, Gutiérrez-Fernández J, Navarro-Marí JM.
