The relative sensitivities and specificities of this real-time PCR assay were as follows: 100.0% and 100.0% for clinical isolates, and 100.0% and 98.4% for clinical specimens, respectively. The relative sensitivities and specificities of blaIMP-PCR were 100.0% in both clinical isolates and clinical specimens. The present PCR assay was easily and quickly performed, and it accurately detected P. aeruginosa and metallo-beta-lactamase., Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease, 61(2), pp.222-226; 2008}, pages = {222--226}, title = {Quantitative detection of metallo-beta-lactamase of blaIMP-cluster-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa by real-time polymerase chain reaction with melting curve analysis for rapid diagnosis and treatment of nosocomial infection.}, volume = {61}, year = {2008} }
