Abstract: Rapid and accurate detection of drug-resistant bacteria is important for AMR control, but conventional detection methods have problems in accuracy and rapidity. The MBT STAR-Carba and MBT STAR-Cepha kits have the advantage of being reported to the clinical side one to two days earlier than phenotypic confirmation testing. In this study, we evaluated the concordance between the two kits and genotypes of 80 carbapenemase-producing, 63 ESBL-producing, 41 carbapenemase-non-producing, and 62 ESBLnon-producing strains with previously confirmed resistance genes.
