Abstract
Background: The rise of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) in low- and middle-income countries limits treatment options, leading to the frequent use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Reducing time-to-result for a urinary infection can facilitate correct antibiotic treatment and support antimicrobial and diagnostic stewardship measures. This study compared two simplified enrichment methods for detecting CTX-M directly from urine specimens. Methods: Two enrichment methods, namely centrifugation of 2 mL urine and filtration of 1 mL urine using the DirecTool adaptor, were compared using 20 culture-positive urine samples (20 suspected ESBL-E and 20 non-ESBL-E). CTX-M production was detected using a lateral flow assay (LFA), NG-Test (R) CTX-MMULTI. The presence of bla(CTX-M) genes was confirmed by whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Results: The results of both enrichment methods were identical, with a sensitivity of 87.5% and a specificity of 100%. In 19/20 (95%) of the urine samples, the results of the CTX-M LFA were identical with the phenotypic confirmation and WGS. Both methods could detect ESBL-E bacteriuria with >= 10(4) cfu/mL. All ESBL-E-negative samples were identified accurately. Both enrichment methods yielded negative results in one ESBL-E-positive (CTX-M-15) sample despite phenotypic and genotypic confirmation of ESBL production. High leukocyte count (>500 cells/mu L), the presence of boric acid or polymicrobial samples did not appear to impact the performance of both enrichment methods. Conclusions: Our study underscores the feasibility of directly detecting CTX-M in urine. Simplified enrichment methods, particularly with a filtration kit, enhance the assay's practicality, rendering it suitable for use in primary care, emergency departments or remote laboratories without sophisticated equipment.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance

要点】:本研究验证了一种在资源有限环境下使用简化方法,通过尿液样本中的NG-Test® CTX-M MULTI侧流免疫层析检测法快速检测ESBL(CTX-M)的可行性,旨在缩短尿路感染诊断时间,从而优化抗生素治疗。

方法】:研究比较了两种简化富集方法——尿样离心和尿样通过DirecTool适配器过滤,使用侧流免疫层析检测法(LFA)检测CTX-M的产生,并以全基因组测序(WGS)确认bla(CTX-M)基因的存在。

实验】:实验使用了20份培养阳性的尿液样本(怀疑为ESBL-E的20份样本和20份非ESBL-E样本)。两种富集方法均显示出87.5%的灵敏度和100%的特异性,且95%的样本中LFA结果与表型确认和WGS结果一致,能够检测到菌落形成单位每毫升大于等于10^4的ESBL-E菌尿。所有ESBL-E阴性样本均被准确识别。在高白细胞计数、硼酸存在或多微生物样本的情况下,两种方法性能不受影响。
