Infections due to carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are emerging as an important challenge in health-care settings and a growing concern worldwide. Lateral flow immunoassay NG-Test CARBA 5 can detect the five most reported carbapenemases (KPC, OXA-48-like, VIM, IMP, and NDM). Direct testing of positive blood cultures could reduce time to detection. This study aims to validate and report on the diagnostic yield of a novel method for carbapenemase detection in positive blood culture vials using NG-Test CARBA 5.
We implemented an investigator-developed method for the direct testing of positive blood cultures using NG-Test CARBA 5. We compared results between genotypic, phenotypic, and direct NG-Test CARBA 5 in blood.
A total of 32 isolates were tested (21 Enterobacterales and 11 ). Genotypic testing detected 23 carbapenemases. When comparing the results of NG-Test CARBA 5 in blood with genotypic testing, agreement was observed in 31/32 (97%) tests. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the NG-Test CARBA 5 in blood were 93%, 100%, 100%, and 94%, respectively.
Our method using NG-Test CARBA 5 directly in blood culture samples presented an excellent diagnostic yield when compared to genotypic profiling and permits an accurate detection of carbapenemases.
耐碳青霉烯类革兰氏阴性菌感染正成为医疗机构中的一项重大挑战,且在全球范围内日益受到关注。侧向流动免疫分析NG-Test CARBA 5能够检测出五种最常见的碳青霉烯酶(KPC、OXA-48样酶、VIM、IMP和NDM)。对阳性血培养物进行直接检测可缩短检测时间。本研究旨在验证并报告一种使用NG-Test CARBA 5检测阳性血培养瓶中碳青霉烯酶的新方法的诊断效能。
我们采用了一种由研究人员开发的方法,使用NG-Test CARBA 5对阳性血培养物进行直接检测。我们比较了血液中基因型、表型和直接使用NG-Test CARBA 5检测的结果。
共检测了32株分离菌(21株肠杆菌科细菌和11株其他细菌)。基因型检测发现了23种碳青霉烯酶。将血液中NG-Test CARBA 5的检测结果与基因型检测结果进行比较时,32次检测中有31次(97%)结果一致。血液中NG-Test CARBA 5的敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值和阴性预测值分别为93%、100%、100%和94%。
与基因型分析相比,我们直接在血培养样本中使用NG-Test CARBA 5的方法具有出色的诊断效能,能够准确检测出碳青霉烯酶。
