We comparatively evaluated the performance of 3 phenotypic tests for the detection of carbapenemase production.
Carbapenemase production was evaluated using the modified Hodge test (MHT), the modified carbapenemase inhibition method (mCIM), and the Rapidec Carba NP test (RCNP).
Among the 170 isolates, 79 were CP-CRE and 91 were non-CP-CRE. The CP-CRE isolates produced GES-5 (n = 66), KPC (n = 4), NDM (n = 7), NDM and OXA-48 (n = 1), and VIM (n = 1). For KPC producers, all 3 methods showed a sensitivity of 75%. The sensitivities of MHT, mCIM, and RCNP were 14.3%, 100%, and 71.4%, respectively, for NDM producers, and 1.5%, 12.1%, and 18.2% for GES-5 producers, respectively.
The performance of the phenotypic tests varied depending on the type of carbapenemase. For intensive infection control, phenotypic and molecular tests are required for the detection of common and rare types of carbapenemases.
我们比较评估了 3 种表型检测方法用于检测产碳青霉烯酶的性能。
使用改良 Hodge 试验(MHT)、改良碳青霉烯酶抑制法(mCIM)和 Rapidec Carba NP 试验(RCNP)评估产碳青霉烯酶。
在 170 株分离株中,79 株为 CP-CRE,91 株为非 CP-CRE。CP-CRE 分离株产生 GES-5(n=66)、KPC(n=4)、NDM(n=7)、NDM 和 OXA-48(n=1)和 VIM(n=1)。对于 KPC 产生菌,3 种方法的敏感性均为 75%。MHT、mCIM 和 RCNP 对 NDM 产生菌的敏感性分别为 14.3%、100%和 71.4%,对 GES-5 产生菌的敏感性分别为 1.5%、12.1%和 18.2%。
表型检测方法的性能取决于碳青霉烯酶的类型。为了进行强化感染控制,需要进行表型和分子检测以检测常见和罕见类型的碳青霉烯酶。
