Abstract
A promising means of rapid screening of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC β-lactamase, and co-production of ESBL and AmpC that combines resazurin chromogenic agar (RCA) with a combined disc method is here reported. Cefpodoxime (CPD) discs with and without clavulanic acid (CA), cloxacillin (CX) and CA+CX were evaluated against 86 molecularly confirmed β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, including 15 ESBLs, 32 AmpCs, nine co-producers of ESBL and AmpC and 30 carbapenemase producers. The CA and CX synergy test successfully detected all ESBL producers (100% sensitivity and 98.6% specificity) and all AmpC producers (100% sensitivity and 96.36% specificity). This assay also performed well in screening for co-existence of ESBL and AmpC (88.89% sensitivity and 100% specificity). The RCA assay is simple and inexpensive and provides results within 7 hr. It can be performed in any microbiological laboratory, in particular, in geographic regions in which ESBL, AmpC or co-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae are endemic.
