Figure Lengend Snippet: mCIM and eCIM results. (A) Example of an NDM-producing P. aeruginosa with mCIM (left) having growth up to the meropenem disk and eCIM (right) with a clear zone diameter around the disk placement. Lines indicate the zone of inhibition measured for each test. Both result in positive readings for carbapenemase and metallo-β-lactamase production, respectively. (B) KPC-producing P. aeruginosa, with mCIM (left) and eCIM (right) both showing growth up to the meropenem disk. Results interpreted as positive and negative, respectively. The growth around the disk noted in panels B and C represent carryover growth from the P. aeruginosa isolate inoculated with the meropenem disk. (C) Non-carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa with negative mCIM (left) and eCIM (right) results that would not be interpreted as the mCIM was negative.

Article Snippet: The emulsion was vortexed and a 10-μg meropenem disk (Becton Dickinson, lot 3065664) placed in the inoculated tube.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Halo effect of alternative testing of GES isolates. A GES-positive isolate was tested after doubling inoculum and 8 h of incubation that was previously determined to be negative upon standard mCIM testing. Note the halo around the growth up to the meropenem disk (left). On the right is a positive result from a KPC-producing P. aeruginosa isolate after double the inoculum and a 4-h incubation.
