Performance of Quantification of Modified Hodge Test: An Evaluation with <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Isolates

<table>Quantification of Modified Hodge Test (MHT). The enhanced growth ratio of ETP and MEM subtracts were obtained from the measure (mm) of the enhanced growth of<i> E. coli</i> ATCC 25922 for both the isolate and the KPC-producing positive control (<i>K. pneumoniae</i> ATCC BAA 1705) and a ratio was calculated. In this example, B is the positive control and the enhanced growth measured for ETP was 10 mm. The enhanced growth measured for isolates A and C was 5 and 2 mm, respectively, resulting in ETP enhanced ratios of 0.5 and 0.2, respectively.</table>
