Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of carbapenem inactivation method (CIM)for screening carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Methods The results of polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and DNA sequencing for determining carbapenemase genes were used as gold standard. A total of 154 clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were determined by CIM,and the results were compared with those of modified Hodge test. Results The consistency rate,specificity and sensitivity of CIM were 99.4%,96.6% and 100.0%,respectively. The consistency rate,specificity and sensitivity of modified Hodge test were 98.7%,93.1% and 100.0%,respectively. Conclusions In comparison to modified Hodge test,CIM shows high consistency rate and specificity. The observation of CIM results is easier than that of modified Hodge test. Therefore,CIM is suitable for using in all level microbiological laboratories.
