LaboratoryCarbapenem resistance blaOXA-23-like+blaOXA-48-like genes [Presence] in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular method
Definition
This test detects but does not differentiate between the OXA-23 and OXA-48 groups, which both confer carbapenem resistance. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the blaOXA antimicrobial resistant marker result in GeneMark's ePlex Blood Culture Identification Gram-Negative Panel.
