Abstract
⺠We prepared novel mAbs that bind to IMP-type metallo-beta-lactamase (MBLs). ⺠We designed the immunochromatographic assay using the mAbs. ⺠The assay detected all known subtypes of IMP-type MBL. ⺠The assay exactly identified the IMP-type MBLs production in Gram-negative bacteria. ⺠The assay is more rapid molecular-based diagnostic method compared with PCR analysis.
