Comparative evaluation of a new commercial media, the CHROMAgar™ mSuperCARBA™, for the detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

Ma'ayan Amar1, Ohad Shalom2, Amos Adler3.   

Abstract

A new chromogenic-based medium (mSuperCARBA™) was tested for screening carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). mSuperCARBA™ was more sensitive (83%) in detecting CPE isolates (n=69, including KPC, NDM, OXA-48, VIM, and IMI) compared with CHROMAgar™-KPC (65%) and MacConkey agar with Imipenem (69%) with comparable specificity for non carbapenemase-producing, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (n=29).
