English From June to September 2012, 500 urine samples were recovered from patients with urinary tract infections (UTI) due to Gram-negative bacilli (≥10⁴ leukocytes/ml and ≥10⁵ Gram-negative isolates/ml) who visited the University hospital Bicêtre (France). They were challenged with extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) using the rapid diagnostic ESBL NDP test. Results of the ESBL NDP test were compared to the results of the double-disc susceptibility test (DDST) performed on solid-agar plates and molecular identification of the β-lactamase genes. Among the 450 nonduplicate urine samples, 11.3% were positive for ESBL-E by using the DDST, the ESBL determinants being mostly of the CTX-M type (CTX-M-15) according to molecular testing. Results of the ESBL NDP test were obtained within 15 min. The sensitivity and specificity of the ESBL NDP test were 98% and 99.8%, respectively, whereas the positive and negative predictive values of this test were 98% and 99.8%, respectively. A perfect correlation between cefotaxime resistance and positivity of the ESBL NDP test was observed. Therefore, the ESBL NDP test offers a powerful tool for a rapid identification of ESBL-E and associated resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. It may be useful in particular for guiding first-line antibiotic therapy.
