Carbapenemase Rapid Test Cassette-KPC/NDM/VIM/IMP/OXA-48

The Carbapenemase Rapid Test is used for the in vitro qualitative detection of KPC, NDM, OXA-48, IMP, VIM carbapenemases in bacterial samples, and to quickly identify the presence of one or more of the five carbapenemases resistance in bacterial samples.

Of these, the KPCs are the most prevalent and after a few years of its discovery, had spread worldwide and caused outbreaks in many countries, such as Asian, North American and European, as well as in Africa.

Carbapenemase-producing Organisms (CPO), and more specifically, Carbapenemresistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) represent a major public health concern worldwide due to their broad spectrum of resistance to antibiotics including, besides carbapenems, most classes of antimicrobial agents, and thus leaving very few options for the management of infected patients. Besides CREs, CPOs also include nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB), such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii that exhibit resistance not only to beta lactam and other groups of antibiotics, but also to Carbapenems. The rapid spread of CPOs and genes encoding these resistances has led to nosocomial outbreaks and endemic situations in several countries in Europe as well as elsewhere worldwide.
