Molecular-based carbapenem resistance testing in Gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) is currently limited because of the reliance on positive blood culture (BC) samples. The T2Resistance™ panel may now allow the detection of carbapenemase- and other β-lactamase encoding genes directly from blood samples. We detected carbapenem resistance genes in 11 (84.6%) of 13 samples from patients with BC-documented BSIs (10 caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella  pneumoniae and 1 caused by VIM/CMY-producing Citrobacter freundii ). Two samples that tested negative for carbapenem resistance genes were from patients with BC-documented BSIs caused by KPC-producing K. pneumoniae who were receiving effective antibiotic therapy. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the T2Resistance™ panel can be a reliable tool for diagnosing carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial BSIs.
