Use of MALDI-TOF VITEK MS for rapid and efficient identification of KPC-type carbapenemases in Enterobacterales carrying the Tn4401a transposon
Detection of the 11,109 Da peak by Vitek MS confirms the presence of KPC-type carbapenemase, allowing rapid and simultaneous detection with species identification; a negative result does not rule out the presence of the enzyme and may require additional tests.
