CHROMagar mSuperCARBA performance in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates characterized at molecular level and routine surveillance rectal swab specimens

Abstract Performance of the CHROMagar mSuperCARBA media was assessed in both well-characterized carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (n = 52) and routine surveillance rectal swab specimens (n = 211). Limit of detection ranged between 101 to 102 CFU/ml except for OXA-48 producers with low-carbapen...

Description
Summary:Abstract Performance of the CHROMagar mSuperCARBA media was assessed in both well-characterized carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (n = 52) and routine surveillance rectal swab specimens (n = 211). Limit of detection ranged between 101 to 102 CFU/ml except for OXA-48 producers with low-carbapenem MICs (106 CFU/ml). High sensitivity (100%) and specificity (100%) were obtained with rectal swabs.
