  • Evaluation of two rapid phenotypical tests - Alifax rapid AST colistintest and Rapid Polymyxin NP test - for detection of colistin resistance in Enterobacterales
    Germ, Julija ...
    Our study evaluates the performance of two rapid phenotypical tests to detect colistin resistance in Enterobacterales: Alifaxrapid AST colistin test using the HB&L system and Rapid Polymyxin NP test ... prepared in-house. A collection of well-characterized 53 colistin-susceptible and 66 colistin-resistant Enterobacterales isolates was used. The results obtained using both rapid tests were compared to the reference broth microdilution. Overall categorical agreement was 81.5% for Alifax test and 98.3% for Rapid Polymyxin NP test. Based on our results, the Rapid Polymyxin NP test is superior to the Alifax test that performed in adequate for Enterobacter spp.
