Evaluation of the BD Phoenix CPO Detect Panel for Detection and Classification of Carbapenemase Producing Enterobacterales.

ABSTRACT: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) pose a serious public health threat due to their resistance to most antibiotics. Rapid and correct detection of carbapenemase producing organisms (CPOs) can help inform clinician decision making on antibiotic therapy. The BD Phoenix™ CPO detect panel, as part of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), detects carbapenemase activity (P/N) and categorizes CPOs according to Ambler classes. We evaluated a CPO detect panel against 109 carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales (CPE) clinical isolates from Korea. The panel correctly detected carbapenemases production in 98.2% (n = 107/109) isolates and identified 78.8% (n = 26/33) class A, 65.9% (n = 29/44) class B, and 56.3% (n = 18/32) class D carbapenemase
