Glossaries package and acronyms with an &

Question

I'm using glossaries package and have one entry that has an & in between:

%\newacronym{CK}{CK}{Chidamber \& Kemerer}
\newglossaryentry{CK}{type =\acronymtype,
                      name={CK},
                      description={Chidamber \& Kemerer},
                      text={CK},
                      first={Chidamber \& Kemerer (CK)},
                      plural={CKs},
                      firstplural={Chidamber \& Kemerers (CKs)}}

in both variants I do get an " in front of the and char and it looks like this:

Chidamber "& Kemerer

whenever I use \glsdesc{CK}

Does someone see a workaround for this?

Answer 1

From the glossaries manual:

Note: if you want to use this command and the description key contains commands, you will have to disable the sanitization of the description key and protect fragile commands.
