Culture of carbapenemase-producing (CPE) as part of active surveillance is one of the most useful strategies for successful infection control programmes. Our objective was to compare the recently introduced CHROMagar mSuperCARBA agar for CPE detection in surveillance cultures from perineal swabs with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention method. Our results showed that this agar is a useful and affordable alternative (sensitivity 93.05%, specificity 96.21%, diagnostic accuracy 95.2%) to detect CPE in hospital settings.
作为主动监测的一部分，产碳青霉烯酶肠杆菌（CPE）培养是成功的感染控制计划中最有用的策略之一。我们的目标是将最近推出的用于检测会阴拭子监测培养物中CPE的CHROMagar mSuperCARBA琼脂与美国疾病控制与预防中心的方法进行比较。我们的结果表明，这种琼脂是在医院环境中检测CPE的一种有用且经济实惠的替代方法（敏感性93.05%，特异性96.21%，诊断准确性95.2%）。
