To evaluate the biochemical Rapid ESBL NP (Liofilchem, Italy) for the rapid detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in Enterobacterales. A total of 100 clinical gram-negative strains (40 ESBL producers with or without cephalosporinase, 43 carbapenemase producers with or without additional ESBLs, 8 AmpC-type producers, 6 penicillinase producers, and 3 non-β-lactamase producers) were tested using this colorimetric technique. The overall sensitivity and specificity of the test were found to be 93.9% and 98.5%, respectively. This test is rapid (turn-around-time of 40-45 minutes), easy to perform, and reliable for identification of ESBL producers. The Rapid ESBL NP test allows differentiation between ESBL producers on one hand, and non-ESBL producers or isolates expressing combined mechanisms of resistance on the other hand.
评估用于快速检测肠杆菌科细菌中超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBLs)的生化快速ESBL NP(意大利Liofilchem公司产品)。使用这种比色技术对总共100株临床革兰氏阴性菌株进行了检测(40株产ESBLs菌株,有或无头孢菌素酶;43株产碳青霉烯酶菌株,有或无额外的ESBLs;8株产AmpC型酶菌株;6株产青霉素酶菌株;3株非β-内酰胺酶产生菌)。该检测的总体敏感性和特异性分别为93.9%和98.5%。此检测快速(周转时间为40 - 45分钟)、易于操作,且对于鉴定产ESBLs菌株可靠。快速ESBL NP检测一方面能够区分产ESBLs菌株,另一方面能够区分非产ESBLs菌株或表达联合耐药机制的分离株。
