Colistin susceptibility testing: time for a review.

respectively, relative to the S. maltophilia strain IAM 1566 protein) (Figure 1). S. maltophilia is a Gram-negative bacterium found in a variety of environments, including soil, water and plants, and is therefore a potential reservoir of the MBL gene. Similar to POM-1 and L1 MBLs, the ability of the PAM-1 enzyme to hydrolyse carbapenems might be relatively low; consequently, the PAM-1-positive ...

Real-time PCR for universal antibiotic susceptibility testing.

OBJECTIVES Determination of bacterial antimicrobial susceptibility is usually performed using phenotypic methods. In this study, we developed a universal 16S rRNA and rpoB quantitative PCR assay for susceptibility testing of bacteria commonly isolated in clinical microbiology laboratories. METHODS Antibiotic susceptibilities for 24 bacterial strains of various species were tested by real-time...
