Abstract

We evaluated an immunochromatographic lateral flow assay for the detection of OXA-48-like carbapenemases (OXA-48 K-SeT) in Enterobacteriaceae (n=82). 100% sensitivity and specificity was observed using bacteria recovered from both solid media and spiked blood culture bottles, with the result obtained in less than 10 minutes.
