n, number of isolates tested.
Carba NP test results: −, negative (red); +, positive (yellow/orange). All the results shown in this table were obtained using 3 to 4 10-μl loopfuls resuspended in 200 μl of the lysis buffer. The same results were obtained using the original protocol (1 10-μl loopful resuspended in 100 μl of the lysis buffer), except for some OXA-48-producing isolates (n = 15) that were detected only by the modified protocol.
Negative by PCR analysis for blaKPC, blaNDM, blaOXA-48-like, blaVIM, blaIMP, and blaGES-type genes (6, 7).
CLSI guidelines do not recommend ertapenem testing for Pseudomonas.
Positive by PCR analysis for at least one of blaKPC, blaNDM, blaOXA-48-like, blaVIM, blaIMP, and blaGES-type genes.
Mucoid strains. Five out of 10 OXA-48-producing K. pneumoniae isolates were mucoid.
