NG-Test® CARBA-5 is a rapid in vitro diagnostic assay, for professional use only. It is a visual multiplex immunochromatographic (lateral flow) qualitative assay for the detection and differentiation of the five most common carbapenemase families (KPC, OXA-48-like, VIM, IMP and NDM) from carbapenem non-susceptible pure bacterial colonies of Enterobacterales (including Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in healthcare settings.
The use of NG-Test® CARBA-5 in the laboratory provides information to inform appropriate antimicrobial therapeutic choices and support prompt infection control decision making and interventions.
The NG-Test® CARBA-5 can be easily implemented into any laboratory settings with minimal training. It requires minimal hands-on time, the preparation protocol is simple and no instrumentation is required.
NG-Test® CARBA-5 can also be performed directly from Positive Blood Culture samples, which can support treatment decisions about 1-2 days faster than current methods allow today.
Due to the increase in the percentage of infections caused by Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) bacteria, more information is needed about the expressed mechanisms of resistance to help guide the optimal antibiotic treatment and to manage infected patients appropriately.
At NG Biotech we continuously develop complementary products to provide clinicians will additional clinically relevant information to adequately treat patients.
A recent study by Boattini et al. 2021 presented a fast-track diagnostics workflow for the detection of ESBL CTX-M and Carbapenemase producers directly from Enterobacterales Positive Blood Cultures followed by the implementation of the algorithm in their laboratory regular workflow.
Sensitivity: 100% Specificity: 100%
NG-Test® CARBA-5 detects the following variants:
