Evaluation of the BL-RED (Beta-Lactamase Rapid Electrochemical Detection) test for the rapid detection of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins in Enterobacteriaceae.

The sensitivity of NG-test CTX-M Multi assay and BL-RED test incubated 10 min for the detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae was 80.6% and 90.3% respectively.
