Table 5 Detection limits for Carba (beta) assay and in-house assays. Performance was assessed individually (i.e. with five isolates possessing only one of the assayed genes) using isolate extracts characterised in this study. All Ct values for replicates at each dilution level are shown. Results beyond the limit of detection for each assay and gene are shaded in grey

From: Evaluation of the SpeeDx Carba (beta) multiplex real-time PCR assay for detection of NDM, KPC, OXA-48-like, IMP-4-like and VIM carbapenemase genes

  1. neg negative
  2. *Each Carba (beta) assay reaction used 5 μL of sample extract, while each in-house assay reaction used 2 μL of sample extract
