Rapid ESBL confirmation

Nordmann P Dortet L Poirel L Rapid detection of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae J Clin Microbiol 2012 503016-22

This biochemical test (lt1h)was based on the in vitro detection of a cephalosporin (cefotaxime) hydrolysis that is inhibited by tazobactam addition The ESBL activity was evidenced by a color change (red to yellow) of a pH indicator (red phenol) due to carboxyl-acid formation resulting from cefotaxime hydrolysis that was reversed by addition of tazobactam (positive test)

Mechanisms of carbapenem resistance

Efflux-pumps

Loss of porins

Carbapenemase production

Porins = outer menbrane proteins (OMPs) Mutations in different porin genes lead to loss of porins loss of permeability of the cell wall Porin loss + ESBLAmpC production carbapenem resistance (ETP MPM) Common in Enterobacter aerogenes K pneumoniae

Hydrolysis of carbapenems by specific beta-lactamases = carbapenemases

Aktive transport of antibiotics outwards common in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

To rapidly identify carbapenemase producers in Enterobacteriaceae we developed the Carba NP test The test uses isolated bacterial colonies and is based on in vitro hydrolysis of a carbapenem imipenem It was 100 sensitive and specific compared with molecular-based techniques This rapid (lt2 hours) inexpensive technique may be implemented in any laboratory

Rapid ESBL confirmation

Nordmann P Dortet L Poirel L Rapid detection of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae J Clin Microbiol 2012 503016-22

This biochemical test (lt1h)was based on the in vitro detection of a cephalosporin (cefotaxime) hydrolysis that is inhibited by tazobactam addition The ESBL activity was evidenced by a color change (red to yellow) of a pH indicator (red phenol) due to carboxyl-acid formation resulting from cefotaxime hydrolysis that was reversed by addition of tazobactam (positive test)

Rapid ESBL confirmation

Nordmann P Dortet L Poirel L Rapid detection of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae J Clin Microbiol 2012 503016-22

This biochemical test (lt1h)was based on the in vitro detection of a cephalosporin (cefotaxime) hydrolysis that is inhibited by tazobactam addition The ESBL activity was evidenced by a color change (red to yellow) of a pH indicator (red phenol) due to carboxyl-acid formation resulting from cefotaxime hydrolysis that was reversed by addition of tazobactam (positive test)

Mechanisms of carbapenem resistance

Efflux-pumps

Loss of porins

Carbapenemase production

Porins = outer menbrane proteins (OMPs) Mutations in different porin genes lead to loss of porins loss of permeability of the cell wall Porin loss + ESBLAmpC production carbapenem resistance (ETP MPM) Common in Enterobacter aerogenes K pneumoniae

Hydrolysis of carbapenems by specific beta-lactamases = carbapenemases

Mechanisms of carbapenem resistance

Loss of porins

Carbapenemase production

Porins = outer menbrane proteins (OMPs) Mutations in different porin genes lead to loss of porins loss of permeability of the cell wall Porin loss + ESBLAmpC production carbapenem resistance (ETP MPM) Common in Enterobacter aerogenes K pneumoniae

Hydrolysis of carbapenems by specific beta-lactamases = carbapenemases
