The combined disk assay has been used for detection of metallo-beta-lactamase-producing isolates. We have observed that the size of inhibition zones produced by many beta-lactam/metallo-beta-lactamase inhibitor (IMBL) combinations may differ depending on the way that the combined disks were prepared. Among the 10 beta-lactam/IMBL combinations tested, only the imipenem/EDTA combination produced similar results.
联合纸片法已用于检测产金属β-内酰胺酶的菌株。我们观察到,许多β-内酰胺/金属β-内酰胺酶抑制剂(IMBL)组合产生的抑菌圈大小可能因联合纸片的制备方式而异。在所测试的10种β-内酰胺/IMBL组合中,只有亚胺培南/EDTA组合产生了相似的结果。
