Table 3. Performance of mCIM and PCR in the identification of carbapenemase-producers.
mCIM | PCR positive | PCR negative | Sensitivity | Specificity | PPV | NPV | Accuracy | Cohen’s kappa |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Positive | 79 | 1 | 100.0% | 95.5% | 98.8% | 100.0% | 99.0% | 0.970 |
Negative | 0 | 21 |
mCIM, modified carbapenem inactivation method; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; eCIM, EDTA-carbapenem inactivation method.
