English The Rapid Aminoglycoside NP (Nordmann/Poirel) test was developed to rapidly identify multiple aminoglycoside (AG) resistance in Enterobacteriaceae. It is based on the detection of the glucose metabolism related to enterobacterial growth in presence of a defined concentration of amikacin plus gentamicin. Formation of acid metabolites was evidenced by a color change (orange to yellow) of the red phenol pH indicator. The Rapid Aminoglycoside NP test was evaluated by using bacterial colonies of 18 AG- resistant isolates producing 16S rRNA methylases, 20 AG-resistant isolates expressing AG-modifying enzymes (acetyl, adenyl and phospho transferases), and 10 isolates susceptible to AG. Its sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 97% respectively, as compared to the broth dilution method taken as the gold standard for determining aminoglycoside resistance. The test is inexpensive, rapid (<2 hours), and implementable worldwide.
