Abstract
The modified Hodge test is a phenotypic test to detect KPC-type carbapenemase producers among Enterobacteriaceae, as recommended by the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute. However, false positive results were reported. In this study, we aimed to large-scale investigate the characterization of the modified Hodge test-positive isolates of Enterobacteriaceae collected between 2006 and 2010 in Taiwan. Fifty-six isolates, including 24 Enterobacter cloacae, 17 Escherichia coli, 10 Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 5 Citrobacter freundii, tested positive with the modified Hodge test. The in vitro activities of 10 antimicrobial agents were determined by the agar dilution method. Boronic acid combined-disk test was used to further confirm the KPC producers. Phenotype of ESBL, AmpC, class B carbapenemases, and profile of outer membrane proteins were investigated by the confirmatory test, boronic acid disk method, 2-mercaptopropionic acid double-disk method, and urea/sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), respectively. β-lactamase genes were examined by PCR and sequencing. These isolates were resistant to ceftazidime (100%), aztreonam (82.1%), ertapenem (64.3%), gentamicin (53.6%), ciprofloxacin (50%), levoflo...Continue Reading
