Sample number	Sample type	Culture	Conventional PCR and sequencing of the sample	Multi-qPCR assay of the sample	Conventional PCR and sequencing of the isolates of the sample	Comments
S7	sp	aba-R; kpn-S	KPC	KPC	KPC (kpn-S)	carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-susceptible Enterobacterales
S11	sp	aba-R; ani	NDM	NDM	None	The patient isolated CRE isolates two times within five days of the date of the sample detected by the multi-qPCR assay

S28	sp	eco-S	KPC	KPC	None	The patient isolated CRE isolates two times within five days of the date of the sample detected by the multi-qPCR assay
S45	balf	eco-S	OXA-48-like	OXA-48-like	None	The patient isolated CRE isolates three times within five days of the date of the sample detected by the multi-qPCR assay
S58	balf	aba-R	KPC	KPC	None	CRE may be a non-dominant isolate

Abbreviations: sp, sputum; balf, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; aba, Acinetobacter baumannii; kpn, Klebsiella pneumoniae; ani, Aspergillus niger; eco, Escherichia coli; pmi, Proteus mirabilis; S, susceptible to imipenem and meropenem; R, resistant to imipenem and meropenem (resistant to meropenem instead of imipenem for Morganella morganii, Proteus spp., and Providencia spp.).
