Table 5 Comparison between sensitivity and specificity of Chrom-KPC and MHT

From: Detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in rectal surveillance cultures in non-hospitalized patients

	Sensitivity	Specificity	PPV	NPV
Chrom-KPC	100%	100%	100%	100%
MHT	66.7%	100%	100%	20%

Sensitivity (MHT)8/12 = 66.7%, specificity = 1/1 = 100%, PPV = 8/8 = 100%, NPV = 1/5 = 20%
