Abstract
Phenotypic tests for carbapenemase production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii have been associated with unspecific metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) inhibitor activity in synergy tests and low positive predictive value. In this study, a collection of well-characterized P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii isolates was used to evaluate the inhibitor-based Total MBL Confirm Kit and the MBL Etest.
