Evaluation of Multiple Methods for Detection of Gastrointestinal Colonization of Carbapenem-Resistant Organisms from Rectal Swabs.
Rectal swabs from high-risk patients were screened for carbapenem-resistant organisms (CROs) using several methods. The direct MacConkey plate method was the most sensitive for CROs (95%), while chromID CARBA and the Check-Direct CPE screen assay were the most sensitive for the detection of carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) (100%; all blaKPC). All methods had a specificity of >90% for CR...
متن کاملLaboratory and clinical evaluation of screening agar plates for detection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae from surveillance rectal swabs.
The increased worldwide spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) emphasizes the need for a sensitive screening procedure to identify these microorganisms. Gastrointestinal carriers may serve as the reservoir for cross-transmission in the health care setting, and thus active surveillance is a key part in preventing the spread of such strains. Three agar-based methods for direct CR...
متن کاملComparison of rectal and perirectal swabs for detection of colonization with vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
Patients whose gastrointestinal tracts are colonized with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) may serve as a reservoir for nosocomial transmission. We compared the sensitivities and concordance of several methods used to detect VRE colonization. Eighty-two paired rectal and perirectal swabs were obtained from 13 patients over a 9-day period. The sensitivity of both rectal and perirectal swab...
متن کاملLaboratory Protocol for Detection of Carbapenem-Resistant or Carbapenemase-Producing, Klebsiella spp. and E. coli from Rectal Swabs
Purpose To identify patients colonized with carbapenem-resistant or carbapenamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the intestinal tract. Patients who grow these organisms should be placed on Contact Precautions (5) to prevent transmission of the resistant bacteria. The procedure described below is a modification of the procedure described by Landman et al. (4). See the procedural notes for steps...
متن کاملinvestigation of single-user and multi-user detection methods in mc-cdma systems and comparison of their performances
در این پایان نامه به بررسی روش های آشکارسازی در سیستم های mc-cdma می پردازیم. با توجه به ماهیت آشکارسازی در این سیستم ها، تکنیک های آشکارسازی را می توان به دو دسته ی اصلی تقسیم نمود: آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی یک کاربر مطلوب بدون در نظر گرفتن اطلاعاتی در مورد سایر کاربران تداخل کننده که از آن ها به عنوان آشکارساز های تک کاربره یاد می شود و همچنین آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی همه ی کاربران فعال موجود در...
