編集長が「Xpert」という言葉に最初に出会ったのは結核の勉強をしている時でした。GeneXpert MTB/RIF という商品名で培養する変わりに核酸増幅で結核菌の存在やRIF耐性の存在を超短時間で行うものでした。WHOもその使用を勧めているという事を知りました。この検査システムの提供はCepheid社。 さて今回は結核ではなく、AMR耐性菌 carbapenemase-producing organisms(CPO)の検出システムです。
Multisite evaluation of Cepheid Xpert–Carba–R Assay for the detection of carbapenemase-producing organisms in rectal swabs.
The Cepheid Xpert–Carba–R Assay is an accurate and rapid test to identify rectal colonization with carbapenamase-producing organisms (CPO) which can guide infection control programs to limit the spread of these organisms.
