Screening for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE)—considering the practical implications of molecular results, the value of culture and deciding criteria for resistance
Molecular platforms alone cannot detect species or antimicrobial resistance. A molecular-followed-by-culture algorithm can reduce workloads associated with culture, resulting in comprehensive data, including antimicrobial susceptibility results, to support informed clinical, policy and epidemiological decision-making.
