The Carbapenem-resistant OXA-23 Detection K-Set (Lateral Flow Assay) is an immunochromatographic test system intended for the qualitative detection of OXA-23-type carbapenemase in bacterial colonies. The assay is a prescription-use laboratory assay which can aid in the diagnosis of OXA-23-type carbapenem resistant strains.

CRE (Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae) are a family of germs that are difficult to treat because they are highly resistant to antibiotics. CRE infections usually happen to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare settings. Patients whose care requires devices like ventilators (breathing machines), urinary (bladder) catheters, or intravenous (vein) catheters, and patients who are taking long courses of certain antibiotics are most at risk for CRE infections.
Some CRE bacteria have become resistant to most available antibiotics. Infections with these germs are very difficult to treat, and can be deadly—one report cites they can contribute to death in up to 50% of patients who become infected.
To prevent the further spread of CRE, healthcare provides should
……
Rapidly identifying patients with CRE and isolating them from other ICU patients when appropriate, using antibiotics reasonably, and reducing invasive device use are important in preventing CRE transmission. CRE rapid test is a necessary prerequisite for the implementation of these methods, which makes it a crucial part of clinical CRE management
Carbapenemase refers to a type of β-lactamase that can at least significantly hydrolyze imipenem or meropenem, including A, B, D three types of enzymes classified by Ambler molecular structure. Class D, such as OXA-type carbapenemase, were frequently detected in Acinetobacteria. Recent years, there have been reports of hospitalization caused by OXA-23, i.e. Oxacillinase-23-like beta-lactamase. 80% of domestic carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacteria baumannii produce OXA-23-type carbapenemase, which makes the clinical treatment very difficult.
