All K. pneumoniae isolates were tested for common carbapenemase genes (blaIMP, blaOXA-48, blaVIM, blaNDM, and blaKPC). Multiplex-PCR was performed according to the protocol of Zarakolu et al10 using a series of primers (Table 1) that were obtained from Macrogen (Seoul, South Korea).

Primers used in this study.
