ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To evaluate the performance of the rapid colorimetric polymyxin B microelution (RCPEm) in determining polymyxin B resistance directly from Enterobacterales-positive blood cultures.

METHODS:

A set volume of positive blood culture bottles (diluted 110) was inoculated into a glucose-broth-phenol red solution (NP solution), where a polymyxin B disk was previously eluted (final concentration of 3 µg/mL). Test was read each 1 h for up to 4 h. Color change from red/orange to yellow indicated resistant isolates. Results were compared to the reference method, broth microdilution (BMD), performed from colonies grown on solid media from the same blood culture bottle.

RESULTS:

One hundred fifty-two Enterobacterales-positive blood cultures were evaluated, 22.4% (34/152) of them resistant to polymyxin B (including 6.6% with borderline MICs). When performing directly from positive blood cultures (RCPEm-BC), specificity and sensitivity were 99.1% and 94.1%, respectively. Of note, 79.4% (27/34) of truly resistant isolates required 3 h of incubation, compared to the 18 ± 2 h incubation that microtiter plates of BMD demand before reading can be performed.

CONCLUSIONS:

RCPEm directly from blood cultures has great potential to be part of the routine of clinical microbiology laboratories to establish polymyxin B susceptibility, impacting outcome of patients with bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales.
