Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of four phenotypic methods in the detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in China. We evaluated the performance of four carbapenemase detection methods, the modified Hodge test (MHT), the Carba NP test, the meropenem hydrolysis assay (MHA) with 1- and 2-h incubation, and the modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) with meropenem, imipenem, and ertapenem, on 342 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates (CRE) in China. PCR was used as the gold standard. The 2-h-incubation MHA performed the best in carbapenemase detection (overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value all 100%). Second was the Carba NP test, with a sensitivity of 99.6%. The 1-h-incubation MHA performed poorly in Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) detection (sensitivity, 71.3%). For mCIM, the best performance was observed with the meropenem disk. The MHT exhibited the worst performance, with a specificity of 88.8%. All assays except 1-h-incubation MHA, which failed to identify 68 KPC-2s, had a sensitivity of >98% in the detection of 172 KPCs. Likewise, all assays had a sensitivity of >95% in the detection of 70 class ...Continue Reading
