Infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales have increased rapidly and are mainly attributed to the production of CTX-M enzymes. This study evaluated the NG-Test® CTX-M MULTI lateral flow assay (CTX-M LFA) and the Rapid ESBL NP® test (ESBL NP test) for rapid detection of CTX-M-producing Enterobacterales directly in midstream urine (MSU) samples. Testing was performed on 277 clinical MSU samples in a hospital microbiology laboratory from November 2022 to January 2023; 60 of these samples (30 positive for ESBL producers and 30 positive for non-ESBL producers) were tested retrospectively after the identification and susceptibility results were obtained, and 217 samples were tested prospectively immediately after a Gram stain showing the presence of Gram-negative bacilli. The results were compared against phenotypic detection of ESBL and molecular testing as the reference methods. Overall, 67 of the 277 samples were culture-positive for ESBL-producing Enterobacterales. PCR for the blaCTX-M gene was positive for all ESBL-producing Enterobacterales isolates. All CTX-M LFA results were interpretable, while three of the ESBL NP test results were noninterpretable. The sensitivity of the CTX-M LFA (100%, 95% CI 94.6–100%) was higher than that of the ESBL NP test (86.6%, 95% CI 76.0–93.7%). Both tests had high specificities (CTX-M LFA, 99.1%, 95% CI 96.6–99.9% and ESBL NP test, 100%, 95% CI 98.2–100%). In conclusion, both the CTX-M LFA and the ESBL NP test can deliver rapid results that could improve antimicrobial stewardship for urinary tract infections. |
