LaboratoryBeta-lactam resistance ESBL blaCTX-M-8+blaCTX-M-25 Group genes [Presence] by Molecular method
Definition
This term is used for assays that can detect, but not differentiate between the CTX-M-8 and CTX-M-25 extended spectrum beta lactamase 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.
