Performance of the BD Phoenix CPO detect assay for detection and classification of carbapenemase-producing organisms.

ABSTRACT: Increasing worldwide, prevalence of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria demands urgent a need for rapid detection and accurate identification of carbapenemases. The BD Phoenix CPO detect (PCD) assay possesses an in-built capacity for parallel susceptibility testing and detection of carbapenemases. Here, the ability of the assay to detect and classify carbapenemase production was tested in a collection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales and non-fermentative gram-negative rods. The ability of the PCD assay to detect and classify carbapenemases was investigated in a collection of 194 clinical, carbapenem-resistant isolates (Enterobacterales [n = 65]; non-fermentative gram-negative rods [n = 129]). AST results were compared to MICS determined by gradient diffusion to determine ac
