The Revogene® Carba C assay is a real-time polymerase chain reaction–based assay that runs on the microfluidic Revogene platform. It was recently designed for the detection of genes encoding the 5 major carbapenemases (NDM, VIM, IMP, KPC, and OXA-48) from various Gram-negatives. A total of 145 clinical Gram-negative strains (96 carbapenemase producers and 49 non–carbapenemase producers)...

A biochemical test (NitroSpeed-Carba NP test) was developed to identify carbapenemase production in Enterobacterales and to discriminate between the different types of clinically significant carbapenemases (Ambler classes A, B, and D). It is based on two main features, namely, the hydrolysis by all β-lactamases, including carbapenemases of the nitrocefin substrate, and the capacity of...
