Imipenem and meropenem Vitek 2 MICs were evaluated for a panel of 104 Enterobacteriaceae for identification of carbapenemase producers. The sensitivity and specificity values for the new CLSI interpretative criteria (CLSI document M100-S20-U, 2010) were 98% and 83% for imipenem and 76% and 83% for meropenem, respectively. We propose an algorithm that is highly sensitive (98%) and specific (94%) for carbapenemase screening based on the combined use of imipenem and meropenem MICs.
对 104 株肠杆菌科细菌进行了亚胺培南和美罗培南 Vitek 2 MIC 值检测,以鉴定碳青霉烯酶产生菌。新 CLSI 解释标准(CLSI 文献 M100-S20-U,2010)对亚胺培南的敏感性和特异性值分别为 98%和 83%,对美罗培南的敏感性和特异性值分别为 76%和 83%。我们提出了一种基于联合使用亚胺培南和美罗培南 MIC 值的碳青霉烯酶筛选算法,该算法具有高敏感性(98%)和特异性(94%)。
