98065-6
LaboratoryCarbapenem resistance blaOXA-143 gene [Presence] by Molecular method
Definition
Qualitative detection of nucleic acids within the beta-lactamase OXA-143 gene (blaOXA-143) found in Gram-negative bacteria. Testing may be performed in addition to conventional culture susceptibility testing to determine the potential bacterial resistance mechanism to antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins and carbapenems.
