Rapid test for the detection of CTX-M groups 1, 2, 8, 9, 25 extended-spectrum ß-lactamases in a bacterial colony from culture.
Not for in vitro diagnostic use. benefits: - Results in 15 minutes
- Minimal hands on time
- Minimal training needs
- No equipment needed
- No maintenance costs
- Stable at room temperature
Performance Characteristics: Detection limit
The detection limit was determined using purified recombinant enzymes. Group 1 / CTX-M-15 250 pg/mL
Group 2 / CTX-M-2 600 pg/mL
Group 9 / CTX-M-14 100 pg/mL Validation on a reference strain bank
NG-Test CTX-M MULTI was evaluated on 165 isolates (PCR characterized ESBL content) at the NRC (AMR French National Reference Centre) of CHU Kremlin Bicêthe Paris-France. Sensitivity : 100% Specificity : 100% NG-Test CTM MULTI detects the following variants:
Group 1: CTX-M-1, -3, -10, -15, -32, -37, -55, -57, -71, -82, -101, -182
Group 2: CTX-M-2
Group 8: CTX-M-8
Group 9: CTX-M-9, -13, -14, -17, -18, -19, -24, -27, -65, -93
Group 25:CTX-M-94, -100 |
