- BacteriologyEvaluation of NG-Test Carba 5 for Rapid Phenotypic Detection and Differentiation of Five Common Carbapenemase Families: Results of a Multicenter Clinical Evaluation
NG-Test Carba 5 is a rapid in vitro multiplex immunoassay for the phenotypic detection and differentiation of five common carbapenemase families (KPC, OXA-48-like, VIM, IMP, and NDM) directly from bacterial colonies. The assay is simple to perform and has recently received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance. A method comparison study was performed at geographically diverse medical centers (nā=ā3) in the United...
