Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is a major source of nosocomial infections worldwide and is mainly associated with the acquisition of OXA-type carbapenemases and, to a lesser extent, metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). In this study, 82 nonepidemiologically related Acinetobacter strains carrying different types of OXA or MBL enzymes were tested using the Eazyplex system, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)-based method to rapidly detect carbapenemase carriage. The presence/absence of carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes was correctly determined for all isolates in <30 min.
耐碳青霉烯鲍曼不动杆菌是全球医院感染的主要来源,主要与获得OXA型碳青霉烯酶有关,在较小程度上与金属β-内酰胺酶(MBLs)有关。在本研究中,使用Eazyplex系统(一种基于环介导等温扩增(LAMP)的方法来快速检测碳青霉烯酶携带情况)对82株携带不同类型OXA或MBL酶且无流行病学关联的不动杆菌菌株进行了检测。在不到30分钟的时间内就正确确定了所有分离株中是否存在碳青霉烯水解酶。
