Rapid and accurate detection of carbapenemase-producing
(CPE) is important for preventing their spread in health care settings. We compared the performance of the Carba NP (CNP) test using the CLSI tube method with that using a modified paper strip method for the detection of carbapenemases in 390
isolates. The isolates were identified by Hong Kong's carbapenem-resistant
surveillance program in 2016 and comprised 213 CPE and 177 carbapenemase-negative
isolates. Molecular genotype was used as the reference. The test results were read at different time points for the CLSI method (1 min, 5 min, 1 h, and 2 h) and strip method (1 min and 5 min). The strip CNP and CLSI CNP tests correctly detect carbapenemase production in 93% and 93% of KPC producers, 100% and 38% of IMI producers, 94% and 85% of IMP producers, 98% and 90% of NDM producers, and 29% and 12% of OXA producers, respectively. Overall, the strip method has superior sensitivity to the CLSI method (86% versus 75%, respectively;
< 0.001, McNemar test). The specificity of both methods was 100%. By the CLSI method, 27%, 14%, 29%, and 6% of the CPE isolates were positive at 1 min, 5 min, 1 h, and 2 h, respectively. In contrast, by the strip method, 76% of the CPE isolates were positive at 1 min, and an additional 10% were positive at 5 min. In conclusion, the Carba NP test by use of the modified strip method has a higher sensitivity and a shorter assay time than that those by use of the CLSI tube method.
