Two commercial real-time PCR assays, the Hylabs Hy-CRE and Sacace MDR MBL+KPC/OXA, were evaluated for the detection of the genes bla KPC, bla VIM, bla NDM, bla IMP and bla OXA-48-carbapenemasein a collection of 96 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains with different resistant mechanisms. Both assays exhibited excellent diagnostic performance, with 100 % sensitivity and specificity., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.000618
