Indirect Tris-EDTA Disk Testing Using Imipenem and Meropenem for Detection of OXA-48 Carbapenemase Production.
Enterobacteriaceae producing class D OXA-48 and OXA-48-like carbapenemases are an increasing concern. Detection is a diagnostic challenge because (i) some isolates are carbapenem susceptible and may go unrecognized, (ii) tests that detect carbapenem hydrolysis may be insensitive due to the relatively weak hydrolytic activity of these enzymes, (iii) the enzymes are not significantly inhibited by...
متن کاملEvaluation of three commercial assays for rapid detection of genes encoding clinically relevant carbapenemases in cultured bacteria.
OBJECTIVES To assess the performance of three commercial molecular assays for detecting major families of carbapenemases in pure bacterial isolates. METHODS A panel of 450 isolates with previously defined carbapenem resistance mechanisms was tested using the Check-Direct CPE kit, the eazyplex(®) SuperBug complete A kit and the Xpert(®) Carba-R kit. Isolates included 438 Enterobacteriaceae and...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Blue-Carba test for rapid detection of carbapenemases in gram-negative bacilli.
The Blue-Carba test (BCT) is a biochemical test for rapid ( 2 h) detection of carbapenemase production in Gram-negative bacilli directly from bacterial culture (1). It is based on the in vitro hydrolysis of imipenem by bacterial colonies (direct inoculation without prior lysis), which is detected by changes in pH values revealed by the indicator bromothymol blue (blue to green/yellow or green t...
متن کاملOXA-48-like carbapenemases: the phantom menace.
OXA-48-type carbapenem-hydrolysing class D β-lactamases are increasingly reported in enterobacterial species. To date, six OXA-48-like variants have been identified, with OXA-48 being the most widespread. They differ by a few amino acid substitutions or deletions (one to five amino acids). The enzymes hydrolyse penicillins at a high level and carbapenems at a low level, sparing broad-spectrum c...
متن کاملEvaluation of the K-SeT R.E.S.I.S.T. immunochromatographic assay for the rapid detection of KPC and OXA-48-like carbapenemases.
Sir, The worldwide emergence of carbapenemases is a major health issue leaving clinicians with few treatment options. Implementation of infection prevention and control (IPC) procedures relies on early detection of carbapenemase producers and distinction from other carbapenem resistance mechanisms. Various carbapenem hydrolysis methods allow detection of carbapenemase activity but do not differ...
