Laboratory

Carbapenem resistance blaNDM gene [Presence] by Molecular method

Definition

Detection of bla(NDM) genotypes by molecular-based assays in isolates positive for gram-negative bacilli. Test is performed to determine resistance to carbapenems due to NDM (New Dehli metallo-β-lactamase) enzyme production.
