Effect of sodium mercaptoacetic acid on different antimicrobial disks in the sodium mercaptoacetic acid double disk synergy test for detection of IMP-1 metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Japan

摘要

We determined the optimal antimicrobial in the sodium mercaptoacetic acid double disk synergy test (SMA-DDST) for the detection of IMP-1-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Japan and evaluated the performance of the test.
