We evaluated the performance of an automated, rapid (TAT 4–8 h), liquid-culture method for carbapenemresistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) detection from rectal swabs, in a setting of KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae endemicity. With 600 samples (22 positive for CRE, 3.7%), the system sensitivity and specificity, at 8 h, were 100% and 99.2%, respectively.

Abstract
We evaluated the performance of an automated, rapid (TAT 4–8 h), liquid-culture method for carbapenemresistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) detection from rectal swabs, in a setting of KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae endemicity. With 600 samples (22 positive for CRE, 3.7%), the system sensitivity and specificity, at 8 h, were 100% and 99.2%, respectively.File in questo prodotto:
