The iC-GPC assay (iCubate, Huntsville, AL) provides a molecular option for the rapid, on-demand analysis of positive blood cultures. A preliminary evaluation of the iC-GPC assay using 203 clinical or seeded specimens demonstrated a sensitivity of 93.8% to 100% and a specificity of 98.0% to 100% for the identification of five Gram-positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, and Enterococcus faecium) and three associated genetic resistance determinants (mecA, vanA, and vanB) in positive blood culture broths.
iC-GPC检测法(iCubate公司,阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔)为阳性血培养物的快速、按需分析提供了一种分子检测方法。使用203份临床标本或接种标本对iC-GPC检测法进行的初步评估显示,对于阳性血培养肉汤中5种革兰氏阳性菌(金黄色葡萄球菌、表皮葡萄球菌、肺炎链球菌、粪肠球菌和屎肠球菌)以及3种相关耐药基因决定簇(mecA、vanA和vanB)的鉴定,其灵敏度为93.8%至100%,特异性为98.0%至100%。
