Abstract:

The infection caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE) brings a challenge for clinical treatment,and timely and accurately identifying carbapenemase plays a role in guiding clinical antibiotic application. At present,the determination methods of carbapenemase include phenotypic screening,gene determination and the methods based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS). This review focuses on various determination methods for CRE.
