Embodiment 1

[0057] Example 1 Testing Faropenem on Pure Strains

[0058] 1. Media and Microorganisms

[0059] 79 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were tested on medium containing different concentrations of faropenem, of which 69 strains were enterobacteria and 10 strains were non-enterobacteria (non-fermenting bacteria), and their resistance characteristics were listed in Table 1, to establish the sensitivity / specificity of each preparation. Plates were read after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C.

[0060] Table I: Characterization of the resistance mechanisms of the tested strains

[0061]

[0062] The medium used was regular agar medium containing at least one chromogenic substrate supplemented with faropenem at the following concentrations:

[0063]

[0064] 2. Test

[0065] Divide the medium into 120X120 square dishes.

[0066] Inoculations were performed from 24-h pre-cultures on trypcase soybean agar at 37 °C.

[0067] For each strain, a 0.5 McF suspension in physiologica...

Embodiment 2

[0080] Doripenem test on the pure strain of embodiment 2

[0081] 1. Media and Microorganisms

[0082] 100 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were tested on media containing different concentrations of faropenem, 98 of which were enterobacteria and 2 strains were non-enterobacteria (non-fermenting bacteria), their resistance characteristics are listed in Table III, to establish the sensitivity and specificity of each preparation. Media containing 0.125 mg / L meropenem were also tested. Chromogenic medium (Biorad) was used as a growth control. Plates were read after incubation at 37°C for 24h and 48h.

[0083] Table III: Characterization of the resistance mechanisms of the tested strains

[0084]

[0085] The medium used was a regular agar medium containing at least one chromogenic substrate supplemented with the following concentrations of carbapenems:

[0087] 2. Test

[0088] Divide the medium into 90mm dishes.

[0089] Use 1 μL (contains about 10 4 mic...

Embodiment 3

[0095] Example 3 Comparison of media containing doripenem with commercially available media

[0096] 1. Media and Microorganisms

[0097] In the medium B (0.065mg / L doripenem) and COLOREX described above TM Of 100 enterobacterial strains tested on KPC medium, 25 of them produced carbapenemase, and their resistance characteristics are listed in Table V. The latter medium was supplied by BioMedDiagnostics Inc. and corresponds to CHROMagar TM KPC ready-to-use medium.

[0098] Table V: Characterization of the resistance mechanisms of the tested strains

[0099]

[0100] 2. Test

[0101] Use 1 μL (contains about 10 4 microorganisms) diluted 0.5McF suspension to inoculate each strain on each medium.

[0102] Readings were performed after 24 and 48 hours of incubation at 37°C.

[0103] 3. Results and Interpretation

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for detecting and / or identifying, in a biological sample, bacteria having a resistance to carbapenems. The method comprises the following steps consisting in: a) bringing the sample into contact with a reaction medium containing at least one chromogenic agent and faropenem and / or doripenem; b) incubating the sample and reaction medium brought into contact in step(a), such as to allow the growth of bacteria; and c) detecting the strains having a resistance to carbapenems. The medium used in step (a) also contains cloxacillin and / or a combination of cloxacillinand PAbetaN.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of a patent application with an application date of March 6, 2012, an application number of 201280014555.0, and the title of "Detection of Bacteria with Resistance to Carbapenems". technical field [0002] The invention relates to a detection and identification method suitable for screening carbapenem-resistant bacteria. Background technique [0003] Increasing resistance to β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins complicates the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacterial strains. These antibiotics are therefore replaced by other broad-spectrum antimicrobials. Among these broad-spectrum antimicrobials, carbapenems have played an important role, especially in the treatment of hospitalized patients. Carbapenems act against most Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic bacteria and some anaerobic bacteria. [0004] However, carbapenem-resistant strains are increasingly appearing in hospitali...
