Rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas spp.
A novel biochemical technique, the Carba NP test, has been evaluated to detect carbapenemase production in Pseudomonas spp. This test was specific (100%), sensitive (94.4%), and rapid (<2 h). This cost-effective test, which could be implemented in any microbiology laboratory, offers a reliable technique for identification of carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas spp.
متن کاملEvaluation of Carba NP Method for Rapid Detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Producing Carbapenemase Enzymes
Background and purpose: Recently, increased resistance to carbapenem antibiotics among Pseudomonas aeruginosa has raised concerns. The Carba NP test is used for detection of carbapenemase types. This study aimed at applying Carba NP method for rapid detection of P. aeruginosa isolates producing carbapenemase enzymes. Materials and methods: A total of 97 clinical specimens was collected from pa...
متن کاملRapid Detection of Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae
To rapidly identify carbapenemase producers in Enterobacteriaceae, we developed the Carba NP test. The test uses isolated bacterial colonies and is based on in vitro hydrolysis of a carbapenem, imipenem. It was 100% sensitive and specific compared with molecular-based techniques. This rapid (<2 hours), inexpensive technique may be implemented in any laboratory.
متن کاملCarbAcineto NP test for rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter spp.
Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, particularly those that produce carbapenemases, are increasingly reported worldwide. The biochemically based Carba NP test, extensively validated for the detection of carbapenemase producers among Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas spp., has been modified to detect carbapenemase production in Acinetobacter spp. A collection of 151 carbapenem...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Carba NP test for rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The Carba NP test was evaluated against a panel of 244 carbapenemase- and non-carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. We confirmed the 100% specificity and positive predictive value of the test, but the sensitivity and negative predictive value were 72.5% and 69.2%, respectively, and increased to 80% and 77.3%, respectively, using a more concentrated bact...
