Article Synopsis
- BD Phoenix CPO Detect panels can quickly identify and classify carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) while simultaneously testing for antimicrobial susceptibility in Gram-negative bacteria.
- A study analyzing a total of 133 strains showed that the panels accurately detected 54 carbapenemase producers, achieving a positive percent agreement (PPA) of 100% for imipenemase (IMPs).
- The panels demonstrated high effectiveness in identifying CPOs, especially IMP producers, although some inaccuracies occurred with certain genetic profiles, suggesting potential limitations in their classification capabilities.
