Utility of CHROMagar mSuperCARBA for surveillance cultures of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae
Culture of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) as part of active surveillance is one of the most useful strategies for successful infection control programmes. Our objective was to compare the recently introduced CHROMagar mSuperCARBA agar for CPE detection in surveillance cultures from...

| description | Culture of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) as part of active surveillance is one of the most useful strategies for successful infection control programmes. Our objective was to compare the recently introduced CHROMagar mSuperCARBA agar for CPE detection in surveillance cultures from perineal swabs with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention method. Our results showed that this agar is a useful and affordable alternative (sensitivity 93.05%, specificity 96.21%, diagnostic accuracy 95.2%) to detect CPE in hospital settings.
