Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using linear-regression and multiple-linear-regression models, respectively. Factors included in the multivariate analyses were those found significant by the univariate analyses or those that would be feasible as real-time tests in clinical microbiology laboratories. Multivariate analyses were performed including and excluding log10 KPC expression. Boldface numbers represent significant P values at the level of <0.05.
