*NDM, New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase; KPC, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase; DIG, digoxigenin.
†NDM probes were labeled with HEX, KPC probes were labeled with FAM, and 16S probes were labeled with CY5 at their 5′ ends. Each contained a black hole quencher at the 3′ end.
‡R, A or G (International Union of Biochemistry codes for DNA bases).
§Amplification using primers NDM-1 forward and NDM-1 reverse, both located outside the coding region of blaNDM, results in a 1,013-bp product.
