The dissemination of carbapenemase-producing bacteria worldwide is an important source of concern because carbapenemase producers are multidrug resistant (Nordmann and Poirel, 2014). National guidelines increasingly recommend a systematic screening of at least carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and glycopeptide-resistant enterococci (GRE) in patients admitted to hospitals who have...

The emergence of one of the most recently described carbapenemases, namely, the New Delhi metallo-lactamase (NDM-1), constitutes a critical and growingly important medical issue. This resistance trait compromises the efficacy of almost all lactams (except aztreonam), including the last resort carbapenems. Therapeutical options may remain limited mostly to colistin, tigecycline, and fosfomycin....

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, and particularly carbapenemase-producing isolates, are increasingly reported worldwide. The biochemically-based Carba NP test, extensively validated for detection of carbapenemase producers among Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas spp., has been modified for the detection of carbapenemase production in Acinetobacter spp. A collection of 151...

The biochemical-based Carba NP test has been evaluated to detect carbapenemase- producing Enterobacteriaceae (n = 193) directly from spiked blood cultures. It was able to rapidly detect KPC (n = 50), IMP (n = 27), VIM (n = 37), NDM (n = 33) and OXA-48-like producers (n = 46) with sensitivity and specificity of 97.9% and 100%, respectively. This cost-effective technique may be implemented in...
