The rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing microorganisms is crucial for clinical and infection control purposes. Here we evaluated Revogene®Carba C assay on 154 carbapenemase-producing and -nonproducing Gram-negatives. Up to 8 samples per 70 minutes were processed by Revogene®Carba C assay which showed excellent performances with 100% sensitivity, 99.5% specificity,100% NPV, and 97.8% positive predictive value.

Abstract
The rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing microorganisms is crucial for clinical and infection control purposes. Here we evaluated Revogene®Carba C assay on 154 carbapenemase-producing and -nonproducing Gram-negatives. Up to 8 samples per 70 minutes were processed by Revogene®Carba C assay which showed excellent performances with 100% sensitivity, 99.5% specificity,100% NPV, and 97.8% positive predictive value.
