Comparison of chromogenic media for recovery of carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and evaluation of CPE prevalence at a tertiary care academic medical center.

چکیده
We evaluated the performance characteristics of chromID CARBA and HardyCHROM Carbapenemase for the detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). A CPE prevalence study was conducted using chromID CARBA; this demonstrated that in low-prevalence settings, CPE screening agars may lack specificity, and confirmation of putative isolates is necessary.

Multicentre evaluation of the Check-Direct CPE® assay for direct screening of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae from rectal swabs.
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate in a multicentre survey the analytical performance of the Check-Direct CPE® assay (CDCPE), a multiplex PCR assay for the detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), directly from rectal swabs. METHODS Adult patients admitted to a high-risk unit in four participating centres were prospectively screened for CPE carriage b...

Background. We aimed to study the molecular characteristics and clonal structure of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae(CPE) in post-acute care facilities (PACF’s) in Israel and to analyze the temporal changes that have occurred between 2008 and 2013. Methods. The prevalence of CPE carriage in PACF’s in Israel was determined in two point prevalence national surveys done in 2008 and 2013....
متن کاملUsing an intensified infection prevention intervention to control carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae at a Thai center.
To the Editor—Emergence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in several parts of the world has heightened efforts to limit the transmission of these microorganisms.' Controlling CPE can be difficult in resource-limited settings because of generally higher nurse-to-patient ratios and less available infection prevention resources in developing countries. We report our experience us...
متن کاملPrevalence and Molecular Characteristics of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae From Five Hospitals in Korea
BACKGROUND The emergence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) represents a major clinical problem because these bacteria are resistant to most antibiotics. CPE remain relatively uncommon in Korea. We report the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and molecular epidemiology of CPE isolates collected from five university hospitals in Korea. METHODS Between January and December ...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of a prototype chromogenic medium (ChromID CARBA) for detecting carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in surveillance rectal swabs.
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are an increasing problem worldwide, and rectal swab surveillance is recommended as a component of infection control programs. The performance of a prototype chromogenic medium (chromID CARBA) was evaluated and compared with media tested by four other screening methods: (i) overnight selective enrichment in 5 ml tryptic soy broth with a 10-μg ert...
