This test provides presumptive identification of KPC-producing E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia, and Citrobacter group (KESC), direct from clinical samples or well-isolated colonies. The presence of KPC implies resistance to Carbapenem antibiotics. This test is useful for epidemiological and hospital infection control purposes. |
