METHOD OF DETECTING AT LEAST ONE MECHANISM OF RESISTANCE TO CARBAPENEMS BY MASS SPECTROMETRY

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the mass spectrometry-based detection ofat least one marker of at least onemechanism of resistance to at least one antimicrobial agent, for at least onemicroorganism included in a sample. The method is characterisedin that the antimicrobial agent is a carbapenem, and said resistance markersare proteins or peptides. Preferably, the proteinsor peptides are proteins from said microorganism.
