Comparison of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry assay with conventional methods for detection of IMP-6, VIM-2, NDM-1, SIM-1, KPC-1, OXA-23, and OXA-51 carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry assay was able to detect carbapenemase producers, including SIM-1 or OXA-51, within 4 hours using 20 μL of 0.5 g/L ertapenem solution as a substrate. This assay is more rapid and accurate than the modified Hodge test and 3-dimensional extract bioassay. Hence, it can be used an alternative test to identify carbapenemase-mediated carbapenem resistance in Gram-negative bacteria.

      One study demonstrated that only 2.2% of the meropenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates were MHT positive.23 In contrast, another study found MHT being positive for 95% Acinetobacter isolates with imipenem hydrolyzing ability.24 A recent study also shows that MHT could be used to detect OXA-48 and New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) in clinical gram-negative bacilli, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, A. baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.25

      Owing to their rather low hydrolytic activity, strains with OXA-family carbapenemase require a longer incubation time to hydrolyze carbapenem antibiotics than do other strains [26]. In particular, OXA-23 and ISAba1-OXA-51 have been reported to require more than 4 h for the carbapenemase assay with ertapenem at a concentration of 500 μg/ml by conventional MALDI-TOF MS [26]. In the quantitative carbapenem-susceptibility test using conventional MALDI-TOF MS, bacterial strains with a lower resistance level were identified more frequently than when using LDI-MS and conventional PCR, MIC, and MHT [Fig. 7(b)].

      This assay is not yet FDA approved and is unavailable for clinical testing. MALDI-TOF MS has been applied for the detection of a wide variety of β-lactamases, including Klebsiella pneumonia carbapenemase (KPC), New Delhi Metallo-β lactamase-1, imipenemase, Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase, Seoul imipenemase, oxacillinases, extended spectrum β-lactamases, and class C cephalosporinase (eg, AmpC) enzymes.62–65 Studies have primarily focused on members of the Enterobacteriaceae, but have also assessed Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii.
