The NitroSpeed-Carba NP test was used to rapidly detect and discriminate between the different types of carbapenemases (classes A, B, and D) within 30 minutes among a collection of 202 Pseudomonas sp. strains (mostly Pseudomonas aeruginosa). A total of 99 carbapenemase–(including enzymes exhibiting weak carbapenemase activity such as several Guyana Extended-Spectrum (GES)-ß-lactamases) and 103 non-carbapenemase producers were tested, and the overall specificity and sensitivity were 100% and 99%, respectively. The NitroSpeed-Carba NP test is a rapid, specific, sensitive, and easy-to-implement technique for identification of carbapenemase- producing Pseudomonas spp.
