Evaluation of an immunochromatographic lateral flow assay (OXA-48 K-SeT) for rapid detection of OXA-48-Like Carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae

Abstract

We evaluated an immunochromatographic lateral flow assay to detect OXA-48-like carbapenemases (OXA-48 K-SeT) in Enterobacteriaceae (n=82). One hundred percent sensitivity and specificity were observed using bacteria recovered from both solid medium and spiked blood culture bottles, and the results were obtained in<10 min.
