We compared three screening methods for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. While the Modified Hodge test and Carba NP test produced false-negative results for OXA-48-like and mucoid NDM producers, the carbapenem inactivation method (CIM) showed positive results for these isolates. Although the CIM required cultivation time, it is well suited for general clinical laboratories. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
