Rapid Detection of Carbapenemase Producing Bacterial Isolates
Maha Ahmed Anwar Hafez;
Abstract
Carba NP and CarbAcineto NP tests are highly sensitive and specific, cheap, rapid tests for the detection of carbapenem resistance due to carbapenemase production. So implementation of infection control measures can be achieved to prevent their further dissemination.
CHROMagar KPC is an easy screening method for the detection of carbapenem resistance, however it lacks specificity in detection of carbapenemase production.
Although PCR is a rapid and highly sensitive method in detection of Carbapenemase production, it is very expensive and needs trained personnel.
