چکیده

AIM To compare the performance of a new chromogenic agar medium CHROMagar ESBL (KC-ESBL) to chromID ESBL (SB-ESBL) for the detection and presumptive identification of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae directly from clinical specimens. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 256 specimens were screened for ESBL producers. Also, the genotypes of the ESBLs and plasmid-mediated AmpC ß-lactamases (pAmpCBLs) were characterized by PCR and sequencing. Among the 256 specimens, 17 (6.6%) ESBL producers were isolated on both media. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were higher for KC-ESBL (100, 93.3, 51.5 and 100%, respectively) than for SB-ESBL (88.2, 92.9, 46.9 and 99.1%, respectively) (P = 0.72). Enterobacteriaceae harbouring pAmpCBL genes as well as chromosomal cephalosporinase- and penicillinase-hyperproducing Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa accounted for the false-positive results. CONCLUSION KC-ESBL can detect ESBL producers from clinical specimens with good selectivity and rapid presumptive identification by means of colony colour at 24 h. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This is the first study that has evaluated the performance of KC-ESBL that enables the detection and presumptive identification of ESBL producers from clinical specimens.

Comparison of 2 chromogenic media for the detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae stool carriage in nursing home residents.

ChromID ESBL agar and Brilliance ESBL agar were compared for the isolation of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae from 298 stools. These had comparable sensitivity and selectivity for the 116 positive samples. Pre-enrichment with cefpodoxime and extending incubation to 48 hours after direct plating both significantly increased sensitivity but reduced selectivity of...
