The AMR-ARRAY: A modular bead array detecting β-lactam, (fluoro) quinolone, colistin, aminoglycoside and macrolide resistance determinants in Gram-negative bacteria.

Last updated on 13-9-2022 by Wesley Van Dessel

Résumé:

The aim of this study was to develop a highly multiplexed bead array to detect genes and/or mutations frequently associated with resistance to antimicrobials of the β-lactam, (fluoro)quinolone, colistin, macrolide and aminoglycoside families in Enterobacteriaceae such as Escherichia coli, Shigella spp. and Salmonella spp. Ligase Chain Reaction and the Luminex® technology were combined in a 53-plex assay designed to target selected genetic markers with 3 internal controls. The AMR-ARRAY consistently detected resistance determinants as compared to phenotypically expressed resistance for 94.7%…
