We evaluated the performance of chromID CARBA compared with direct plating onto MacConkey agar supplemented with meropenem disk (MCM) for the screening and detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) from rectal swabs. Sensitivity and specificity values were 89.9% and 98.7% for MCM, and 92.4% and 98.8% for chromID CARBA.

Abstract
We evaluated the performance of chromID CARBA compared with direct plating onto MacConkey agar supplemented with meropenem disk (MCM) for the screening and detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) from rectal swabs. Sensitivity and specificity values were 89.9% and 98.7% for MCM, and 92.4% and 98.8% for chromID CARBA.
