Isolates harboring IMP-type metallo-ß-lactamases collected through the CDC’s Antibiotic Resistance Laboratory Network (AR Lab Network). This collection was assembled to challenge detection of difficult IMP variants not present in other AR Bank panels. Please note: Some of these variants may not reliably be detected by all commercial tests.
Panel ID: IMP
MICs obtained by broth microdilution. Modal MIC is reported.
MIC results for each antimicrobial agent for an isolate may commonly be ± 1 log2 (doubling dilution) different than what is posted on the FDA & CDC AR Bank website because this is the normal technical variability of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (see J. H. Jorgensen. 1993. J Clin Microbiol. Vol 31[11]: 2841-2844).
