| Abstract |
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of different phenotypic tests to detect carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Three different phenotypic methods were evaluated: (1) combined-disk test (CDT) of meropenem plus phenylboronic acid (PBA) or EDTA reading after 24h and 48h (CDT-24 with PBA or EDTA and CDT-48 with PBA or EDTA, respectively); (2) selective/chromogenic read after 24h (ChromID-24h) and after 48h (ChromID-48h); and (3) overnight selective enrichment broth containing 10μg ertapenem disk followed by culture on MacConkey agar (SEB). A positive result in at least one of the methods was submitted to PCR for blaNDM-1, blaOXA-48, blaKPC, blaSPM-1, blaIMP, and blaGES detection. CRE was detected in 31 (30.4%) of 102 rectal swabs evaluated. All isolates showed to be KPC-2-producing organisms. Results showed excellent agreement among the evaluated tests (positive and negative) (kappa=0.88). It is important to state that CDT test with PBA is not suitable for bacterial identification/isolation. Conversely, ChromID-48h showed to be a useful tool, with the advantage of presumptive bacterial identification. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 June 2015.
All research outputs
#20,656,820
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
#543
of 809 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#205,552
of 279,405 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
#12
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 809 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 279,405 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
