Specimen Collection : Clinical specimens included blood, urine, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, wound, peritoneal fluid, and tracheal aspirate obtained from patients with suspected bacterial infections collected in dry sterile well-closed plastic cups.
Bacterial identification by Gram stain, culture and biochemical rections
* analysisThe resistance pattern of the isolates will be detected by disc diffusion method.
* phenotypic detection of carbapenemases. • Detection of carbapenem resistance genes (KPC, VIM, IMP, OXA-48, NDM) by conventional PCR.
