Dr. Robin Patel, Division Chair of Clinical Microbiology, answers questions about Mayo Clinic's new KPC and NDM Surveillance PCR test. Dr. Patel discusses how she would explain the test to a patient, provides some details about the science behind the test, and outlines how providers would likely apply the test in practice. The KRNRP / KPC (blaKPC) and NDM (blaNDM) in Gram-Negative Bacilli, Molecular Detection, PCR assay should be ordered when assessing pure isolates of gram-negative bacilli for mechanism of carbapenem resistance. KNSRP / KPC (blaKPC) and NDM (blaNDM) Surveillance PCR assay should be ordered to identify carriers of carbapenem-resistant Enterobactericeae harboring blaKPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) or blaNDM (New Dehli metallo-beta-lactamase) genes.
