LaboratoryBeta-lactam resistance AmpC blaCMY+blaMOX genes [Presence] by Molecular method
Definition
This term is used for assays that can detect, but not differentiate between the blaCMY and blaMOX AmpC cephalophorinase genes in gram negative bacterial isolates. If either or both genes are positive, a single result of "positive" is reported. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the submitter's modified protocol for the Check-Points Check-MDR CT103XL assay.
