- Highlights • Early detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) colonisation is crucial for infection control. • Performance of the Xpert® Carba-R v2 in a low CPE prevalence setting was evaluated. • The Xpert® Carba-R v2 assay is accurate for rapid screening of high-risk patients. • This assay may guide infection control programmes to limit the spread of CPE.
