ESBLs and AmpCs may escape detection when they coexist with metallo-β-lactamases such as New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamases-1. In this study a combination disk assay was established using cefotaxime, cefotaxime/clavulanic acid, cefotaxime/clavulanic acid/cloxacillin, cefoxitin and cefoxitin/phenylboronic acid/cloxacillin on Mueller Hinton agar supplemented with dipicolinic acid for determination of β-lactamases in the presence of NDM-1.
