Enterobacteriaceae are the most frequently isolated organisms from clinical specimens. Among them Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae cause a wide variety of clinical infections. With the emergence of ESBLs, carbapenems became the drug of choice. During the past decade, there has been an emergence of carbapenems-resistant Enterobacteriaceae that produce carbapenamases. So detection of carbapenamase producing Enterobacteriaceae has become mandatory for effective treatment. Hundred isolates of Meropenam resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were selected. Modified Hodge test, double disc synergy test, combined disc or Disc enhancement test and Carba Np Test were done for these resistant isolates among them. The sensitivity and specificity of Carba Np test was 100 % and better than Modified Hodge test, combined disc test and double disc synergy test. Thus carba Np test is more effective and easily adoptable method used to identify the carbapenamase producing organisms.
