Characterization of the modified Hodge test-positive isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in Taiwan

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2013
The modified Hodge test is a phenotypic test to detect KPC-type carbapenemase producers among Enterobacteriaceae, as recommended by the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute. However, false positive results were reported. In this study, we aimed to large-scale investigate the characterization of the modified Hodge test-positive isolates of ...

Further Modification of the Modified Hodge Test for Detecting Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn Lab Med, 2015
The modified Hodge test (MHT) was designed to detect carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). This study evaluated variables to improve the performance of MHT.Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolated from November 2010 to March 2013 at the Asan Medical Center, were evaluated, including 33 metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) producers and 103 non-

Combined use of the modified Hodge test and carbapenemase inhibition test for detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas spp. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn Lab Med, 2015
We evaluated the combined use of the modified Hodge test (MHT) and carbapenemase inhibition test (CIT) using phenylboronic acid (PBA) and EDTA to detect carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) and metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Pseudomonas spp.A total of 49 isolates of CPE (15 Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase [KPC], 5 Guiana extended ...

Modified Hodge test versus indirect carbapenemase test: prospective evaluation of a phenotypic assay for detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) in Enterobacteriaceae. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Clin Microbiol, 2013
ABSTRACT The currently recommended phenotypic test for the detection of carbapenemase-producing members of the family Enterobacteriaceae is the modified Hodge test (MHT). However, the MHT lacks specificity.

Improved performance of the modified Hodge test with MacConkey agar for screening carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacilli

open access: yesJournal of Microbiological Methods, 2010
The detection of carbapenemases in Gram-negative bacilli is important for optimal patient treatment and to control spread of the resistance. The modified Hodge test can detect carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacilli. In this study, we compared the performance of MacConkey agar and Mueller-Hinton agar for metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) and OXA ...

Modified Hodge test: A useful and the low-cost phenotypic method for detection of carbapenemase producers in Enterobacteriaceae members.

open access: yesJ Nat Sci Biol Med, 2013
The global spread of antimicrobial resistance has acquired greater significance in the public health perspective. Drug resistance has posed a threat for the management of various hospital-acquired infections (HAI). For bacteria producing extended spectrum ß lactamase, carbapenems are the drug of choice.

Comparison of a novel, rapid chromogenic biochemical assay, the Carba NP test, with the modified Hodge test for detection of carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacilli. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Clin Microbiol, 2013
ABSTRACT We compared carbapenemase detection among 271 Gram-negative bacilli (of which 131 were carbapenemase producers) using a novel chromogenic rapid test—the Carba NP test (CNP)—and the modified Hodge test (MHT). Sensitivities were comparable (CNP, 100%, versus MHT, 98%; P = 0.08), but CNP was more ...
