Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Modified Hodge Test (PAE-MHT) and ChromID Carba Agar for Detection of Carbapenemase Producing Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Recovered from Clinical Specimens.

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the ability of ChromID Carba agar, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa modified Hodge test (PAE-MHT) for detection of carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa and to determine the associated carbapenemase gene classes by PCR.

Methods: One hundred Carbapenem-resistant P.
