Here, we propose a novel modified Carba NP test for detecting KPC-producing Enterobacterales using imipenem/relebactam.
The test performance was evaluated in a random selection of 160 previously molecularly characterized clinical isolates carrying the 110 bla, 1 bla, 12 bla, 4 bla, 3 bla and 42 bla genes. The proposed method relies on the detection of imipenem hydrolysis in an imipenem/relebactam antibiotic solution and subsequent visual interpretation by color change.
All class A producing Enterobacterales (111/111) were detected using imipenem/relebactam as no visual appreciation of color change was perceived due to a nule hydrolysis of imipenem in the antibiotic solution. Overall, the assay showed 100% sensitivity (111/111) and specificity (69/69) for detecting class A KPC-producing Enterobacterales.
The biochemical assay provides very reliable results for detecting KPC-producing Enterobacterales, with a turnaround time of less than 1 hour, minimum handling and no specialized equipment required.
在此,我们提出一种新型改良Carba NP试验,用于使用亚胺培南/雷利巴坦检测产KPC的肠杆菌科细菌。
在随机选择的160株先前经分子特征鉴定的临床分离株中评估该试验性能,这些分离株携带blaKPC-1、blaKPC-2、blaKPC-3、blaKPC-4、blaKPC-5和blaKPC-12基因。所提出的方法依赖于检测亚胺培南/雷利巴坦抗生素溶液中亚胺培南的水解情况,随后通过颜色变化进行目视判读。
使用亚胺培南/雷利巴坦检测到所有产A类酶的肠杆菌科细菌(111/111),因为抗生素溶液中亚胺培南的水解未观察到颜色变化。总体而言,该检测方法在检测产A类KPC的肠杆菌科细菌时显示出100%的敏感性(111/111)和特异性(69/69)。
该生化检测方法在检测产KPC的肠杆菌科细菌时提供了非常可靠的结果,周转时间不到1小时,操作简便,无需专门设备。
