ABSTRACT NG-Test CARBA 5 (NG-Biotech) is a rapid in vitro multiplex immunoassay for the phenotypic detection and differentiation of the “big five” carbapenemase families (KPC, OXA-48-like, VIM, IMP, and NDM). Version 2 of this assay was evaluated alongside the Xpert Carba-R assay (Cepheid, Inc.), th...
