This 2014 image depicts Centers for Disease Control (CDC) microbiologist, Johannetsy Avillan, holding up an opened Petri dish culture plate, demonstrating the results of a modified Hodge test (MHT), which is used to identify resistance in bacteria known as Enterobacteriaceae. Bacteria that are resistant to carbapenems (Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)), which are considered last resort antibiotics, produce a distinctive clover-leaf shaped growth pattern, as was seen in this case.
