The sensitivity of RESIST-5 O.O.K.N.V. improved to 100% and 95.6%, respectively, by performing the assay on 4-h early subculture.

Abstract

We prospectively compared the performance of RESIST-5 O.O.K.N.V. and NG-Test Carba 5 assays directly from blood cultures spiked with 130 characterized Enterobacterales isolates. Overall, both assays yielded 100% sensitivity to detect KPC-type carbapenemases and OXA-48-like carbapenemases. Both assays failed to detect KPC-31 and KPC-33, D179Y point mutation variants of KPC-3 and KPC-2, that are deprived of carbapenemase activity and confer resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam. On blood culture bacterial pellets, NDM- and VIM-type carbapenemases were detected in 50.0% and 52.2%, respectively, by RESIST-5 O.O.K.N.V. vs 100% by NG-Test Carba 5. The sensitivity of RESIST-5 O.O.K.N.V. improved to 100% and 95.6%, respectively, by performing the assay on 4-h early subculture.
