Abstract
The rapid detection of KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae by microbiology laboratories has been required for infectious control programs. Herein we evaluated the performance of a novel immunochromatographic test for detecting KPC-2-, KPC-3-, KPC-4-, KPC-6-, KPC-7-, KPC-8-, and KPC-11-producing isolates and the influence of different growth media on the test performance.
•Rapid detection of KPC-producing isolates is still a demanding issue on clinical practice.•A rapid immunochromatographic test was evaluated to detect different variants of KPC.•KPC-6, KPC-7, KPC-8 and KPC-11 variants were evaluated for the first time.•An enhancing on bacterial inoculum was proposed to detect all KPC variants tested.•No influence of commonly bacterial growth medium used on routine microbiology was observed.
