Phenotypic Detection of Molecular Classes of beta-lactamases among CRE

This book is a work conducted in Kanti Children Hospital Kathmandu to determine the burden of carbapenem resistant isolates of Enterobacteriaceae producing different types of β-lactamases.It has been observed that all the classes of carbapenemases have emerged among the Enterobacteriaceae. Since the profound variation is found in β-lactamases of CRE to reduce the risk of severe calamity effective detection procedures are mandatory in all the clinical laboratories.
