This panel was assembled to challenge assays that detect carbapenemase production. Isolates in this collection represent a range of gram-negative bacteria; some producing a carbapenemase and others that demonstrate reduced susceptibility to carbapenems, but do not produce a carbapenemase. This collection was assembled to challenge assays that detect carbapenemase production.
Panel ID: CarbaNP
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).
