Table 3. Sensitivity and specificity of the six different phenotypic tests.
Performance characteristics (compared to presence of carbapenemase genes) | MHT | THT | CNPt | CNPt-direct | BCT | CIM |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sensitivity, % (95% CI) | 75.5 (68.4–82.7) | 84.9 (78.9–90.9) | 66.2 (58.3–74.1) | 92.8 (88.5–97.1) | 82.0 (75.6–88.4) | 93.5 (89.4–97.6) |
Specificity, % (95% CI) | 94.0 (89.7–98.3) | 91.5 (86.4–96.5) | 100 (96.9–100)* | 100 (96.9–100)* | 100 (96.9–100)* | 100 (96.9–100)* |
*These data were determined by the exact McNemar's test. Other data were determined by the asymptotic McNemar's test.
Abbreviations: MHT, modified Hodge test; THT, Triton Hodge test; CNPt, Carba NP test; CNPt-direct, simplified Carba NP test; BCT, blue-Carba NP test; CIM, carbapenem inactivation method; CI, confidence interval.
