Ultrarapid Detection of bla KPC1/2-12 from Perirectal and Nasal Swabs by Use of Real-Time PCR
1 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
The novel real-time PCR assay developed as described here was able to detect bla(KPC1/2-12) (bla(KPC-1/2) to bla(KPC-12)) from easily available clinical specimens in less than 2 h. The genotypic assay was highly sensitive (100%) and specific (98%). In some cases, it was able to detect bla(KPC) 48 h before positive detection by standard phenotypic assay on patients who were monitored daily. The high sensitivity...
