Carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) pose a serious clinical threat and rapid
detection tools are essential to aid in patient management. We developed rapid and simple …

Abstract 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 …

Abstract Background Carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) have emerged as
antibiotic-resistant bacteria of global concern. Here we assessed the performance of the …

The performance and portability of a multiplex real-time PCR assay to detect KPC, NDM,
OXA-48-like and VIM carbapenemase gene families from bacterial isolates was assessed …

A rapid and reliable PCR-based technique was developed for detection of genes encoding
carbapenemases belonging to different classes. Primers were designed to amplify the …

Background Resistance to carbapenem antibiotics is emerging worldwide among
Enterobacteriaceae. To prevent hospital transmission due to unnoticed carriage of …

Rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing organisms is clinically desirable for hospital
infection control and antibiotic stewardship. In this multicenter study, the Xpert Carba-R …

A novel multiplex real-time PCR was designed to detect the clinically most important
carbapenemase genes, blaKPC, blaVIM, blaNDM and bla OXA-48. The multiplex assay was …

Objectives With a worrisome surge of carbapenem-resistant bacterial isolates, the diagnostic
arsenal has become in dire need of affordable and timely assays to detect the rapidly …

We developed a multiplex SYBR green real-time PCR for the BD Max instrument (BD
Diagnostics, Sparks, MD) to detect a panel of carbapenemases. The assay was evaluated …
