KPC screening by updated BD Phoenix and Vitek 2 automated systems.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current BD Phoenix and Vitek 2 methodologies were assessed as screens for KPC β-lactamases. Using carbapenem MICs or expert system interpretations as screens, both systems exhibited high (97%) sensitivity in tests with 103 well-characterized Gram-negative isolates, 77 of which were KPC producers.

Comparative evaluation of the BD Phoenix and VITEK 2 automated instruments for identification of isolates of the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
We evaluated two new automated identification systems, the BD Phoenix (Becton Dickinson) and the VITEK 2 (bioMérieux), for identification of isolates of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC). The test sample included 42 isolates of the highly virulent and epidemic genomovar III, 45 isolates of B. multivorans, and 47 isolates of other members of the BCC. Rates of correct identification by the B...
متن کاملDetecting imipenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii by automated systems (BD Phoenix, Microscan WalkAway, Vitek 2); high error rates with Microscan WalkAway
BACKGROUND Increasing reports of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections are of serious concern. Reliable susceptibility testing results remains a critical issue for the clinical outcome. Automated systems are increasingly used for species identification and susceptibility testing. This study was organized to evaluate the accuracies of three widely used automated susceptibility ...

In this study, we tested the abilities of the Vitek 2, BD Phoenix, and Kirby Bauer disk diffusion tests to detect carbapenemase production in a collection of 14 Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing non-Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. In addition, we evaluated 13 KPC-positive K. pneumoniae isolates by using each of these methods and applied both 2009 and 2010 CLSI carbapenem inter...
متن کاملExtended-spectrum Beta-lactamase detection with different panels for automated susceptibility testing and with a chromogenic medium.
Infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)- and ampC beta-lactamase-producing gram-negative bacteria complicate therapy and limit treatment options. Several different panels for ESBL detection with automated systems exist. In addition, a chromogenic agar medium is available for ESBL screening. We compared two automated identification and susceptibility testing systems with reg...

Contemporary clinical isolates and challenge strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were tested by four automated susceptibility testing systems (BD Phoenix, MicroScan WalkAway, Vitek, and Vitek 2; two laboratories with each) against six broad-spectrum beta-lactams, and the results were compared to reference broth microdilution (BMD) and to consensus results from three validated methods (BMD, Etest ...
