Abstract:
A simplified Carba NP test (CNPt), the CNPt-direct, was evaluated for carbapenemase detection using 272 gram-negative bacteria. Compared to the Modified Hodge test, the CNPt-direct had higher sensitivity (98.2% vs. 71.6%). The simplified Carba NP is an accurate, cheap and simple test for rapid carbapenemase detection.
