Development and Validation of a Novel Multiplex Real-Time PCR Assay for Rapid Detection of Carbapenemase Genes in Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales Isolates and Clinical Samples.

For clinical isolate detection, the multi-qPCR assay is comparable to Colloidal Gold, and superior to mCIMandeCIM and CDT; while for clinical samples detection, it also shows excellent performance. Therefore, the multi-qPCR assay has great potential for clinical diagnosis.
