Abstract:
Objective To evaluate VITEK2 Advanced Expert System (AES) for detection and analysis of clinically important beta-lactam phenotypes.Methods 124 known resistant phenotype strains including Staphylococcus spp, E.coli, Klebsiella spp. and Ent. cloacae were tested by VITEK2 AES. Results The resistant phenotypes for methicillin susceptible, and resistant Staphylococcus spp, producing ESBL E. coli, Klebsiella spp. and Ent. cloacae isolates, and inducible AmpC and hyperproduced AmpC Ent. cloacae isolates can be accurately identified by VITEK2 AES. The most Ent. cloacae strains for both producing ESBLs and hyperproduced AmpC were partially identified.Conclusion VITEK2 AES can be accurately identified most clinically important beta-lactam phenotypes and suggested additional therapeutic correction based on phenotype. Certain problems for Ent. cloacae in the study should be remediable with further work on AES.
