Abstract

Background: Due to their prevalence worldwide, the β lactamases CTXM and plasmid mediated CMY2 are important antimicrobial resistance enzymes in a clinical setting. While culture and PCR based detection methods exist for these targets, they are time consuming and require specialist equipment and trained personnel to carry out. Methods: In this study, three rapid diagnostic single plex and a prototype triplex assay were developed, using recombinase polymerase amplification with lateral flow detection (RPALF), and tested for their sensitivity and specificity using two isolate DNA panels (n = 90 and n = 120 isolates). In addition, the RPALF assays were also tested with a small number of faecal extract samples (n = 18). Results: The RPALF assays were able to detect bla CXTM group 1, bla CTXM group 9 and bla CMY2 type variants with high sensitivity (82.1% to 100%) and specificity (100%) within a short turnaround time (15 to 20 min for amplification and detection). Conclusions: RPALF assays developed in this study have the potential to be used at or close to the point of care, as well as in low resource settings, producing rapid results to support healthcare professionals in their treatment decisions.
