NG Biotech CARBA-5
For rapid detection of Carbapenemases
Improved range of variants now detected across all ‘big 5’ carbapenemase families for infection prevention and control purposes.
The NG Biotech CARBA 5 detects multiple mechanisms, giving a clearer picture of the problem as a whole, aiding treatment decisions and helping to inform isolation/PPE decisions etc. whilst also assisting in infection control and supporting #antimicrobialstewardship.
Overview
NG-Test CARBA 5 aids in the rapid identification of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in healthcare settings.
NG-Test CARBA-5 detects one or more of the five common types of carbapenemase enzymes (KPC (K), OXA-48-like (O), IMP (I), VIM (V), NDM (N)) from carbapenem-non-susceptible Gram-negative bacterial colonies.
