Abstract
Rapid and accurate identification of CPO may reduce the genetic exchanges among bacteria and prevent further dissemination of carbapenemases to non-CPO. The current method had designed microfluidic chip-based LAMP amplification method for multiplex detection of carbapenemase genes and evaluated the detection performance of the newly method. The current method can rapidly screen and detect CPO with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, and could easily be implemented in clinical microbiology laboratories, as this will reduce the carbapenem resistance issues worldwide.
