Abstract
-like was correctly predicted in two isolates. In conclusion, the BCID2 assay is a reliable tool for rapid BC processing and species identification. Despite inclusion of common ESBL- or carbapenemase-encoding markers, the multifactorial nature of β-lactam resistance in Gram-negative organisms warrants combination of BCID2 with (rapid) phenotypic susceptibility assays.
