Further proofs of concept for the Carba NP test.
Recently, Tijet et al. evaluated the Carba NP test (1), which we developed in order to identify carbapenemase producers. Our first study included 316 carbapenemaseand non-carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates (2, 3). Tijet et al. confirmed that this biochemical test has an excellent specificity of 100%, together with an excellent positive predictive valu...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Carba NP test for carbapenemase detection.
The Carba NP test was evaluated against a panel of 61 carbapenemase-producing bacterial species (15 producing class A carbapenemases, 15 producing class D carbapenemases, and 31 producing metallo-β-lactamases) and against 111 isolates with non-wild-type carbapenem susceptibility but not producing carbapenemase. Carbapenemase production was verified by PCR and UV-spectrophotometric measurement o...
متن کاملRapidec Carba NP Test for Rapid Detection of Carbapenemase Producers.
Performances of the Rapidec Carba NP test (bioMérieux) were evaluated for detection of all types of carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In less than 2 h after sample preparation, it showed a sensitivity and specificity of 96%. This ready-to-use test is well adapted to the daily need for detection of carbapenemase producers in any laboratory...
متن کاملEvaluation of the RAPIDEC® CARBA NP, the Rapid CARB Screen® and the Carba NP test for biochemical detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was the evaluation of the performance of two commercially available biochemical tests for the rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae compared with a home-made technique. METHODS A collection of 150 enterobacterial isolates, including 132 isolates with decreased susceptibility to at least one carbapenem molecule, were tested for car...
متن کاملComparison of the Carba NP, Modified Carba NP, and Updated Rosco Neo-Rapid Carb Kit Tests for Carbapenemase Detection.
The accurate detection of carbapenemase-producing organisms is a major challenge for clinical laboratories. The Carba NP test is highly accurate but inconvenient, as it requires frequent preparation of fresh imipenem solution. The current study was designed to compare the Carba NP test to two alternative tests for accuracy and convenience. These were a modified Carba NP test that utilized intra...
