Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhenotypic ESBL Detection in Acinetobacter baumannii: A Real ChallengeGeetanjali M. Litake, Vikram S. Ghole, Krishna B. Niphadkar, Suresh G. JoshiClinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommends two-step approach for extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) detection which includes the screening of recommended agents and the phenotypic confirmation of ESBL using a combination of screening agent and β-lactamase inhibitor. To investigate this approach, we screened 145 β-lactamase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii isolates for ESBL from tracheal secretions using double disk synergy test (DDST) and phenotypic confirmatory disc … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Oct 2015 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite
