Detection of KPC, NDM and VIM-Producing Organisms Directly from Rectal Swabs by a Multiplex Lateral Flow Immunoassay

Detection of KPC, NDM and VIM-Producing Organisms Directly from Rectal Swabs by a Multiplex Lateral Flow Immunoassay

We report a preliminary evaluation of the NG-Test CARBA 5 immunochromatographic assay for detecting carbapenemases directly from rectal swabs on the same day of sampling. Thirty fecal swabs were examined for carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) by conventional culture, PCR, and NG-Test CARBA 5....
