&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Carbapenem resistance genes are genetic elements responsible for conferring resistance to carbapenem antibiotics. Molecular detection involves using techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify these genes. The specific approach and protocols for PCR may vary depending on factors such as the laboratory setup, equipment, and specific requirements of the testing situation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
