RESUMEN
The rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing microorganisms is crucial for clinical and infection control purposes. Here we evaluated Revogene®Carba C assay on 154 carbapenemase-producing and -nonproducing Gram-negatives. Up to 8 samples per 70 minutes were processed by Revogene®Carba C assay which showed excellent performances with 100% sensitivity, 99.5% specificity,100% NPV, and 97.8% positive predictive value.

Three assays for SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection in nasopharyngeal swabs (Lumipulse® G SARS-CoV-2 Ag [LPG], STANDARDTM F COVID-19 Ag FIA [STF] and AFIAS COVID-19 Ag [AFC] were evaluated. Compared to RT-PCR, LPG, AFC and STF showed a variable sensitivity (87.9%, 37.5%, and 35.7%, respectively) and an overall high specificity (> 95%).
