(a) Colony PCR amplification for blaOXA-51-like carbapenemase gene. Upper and lower panel: Lane 1 is a positive control A. baumannii ATCC 19606 strain. Lanes 2-29 represent isolates A1, A2, A3, A5, A7, A8, A10, A11, A14, B1, B2, B3, B4, B8, B9, B10, B14, B16, C4, C5, C9, C11, C20, C22, C24, H4, H8, and H11, respectively. M is a 100 bp size marker ladder (HyperLadder™, Bioline). (b) Colony PCR amplification for blaOXA-23-like carbapenemase gene. Upper and lower panel: Lanes 1–28 represent isolates A1, A2, A3, A5, A7, A8, A10, A11, A14, B1, B2, B3, B4, B8, B9, B10, B14, B16, C4, C5, C9, C11, C20, C22, C24, H4, H8, and H11, respectively. M is a 100 bp size marker ladder (HyperLadder™, Bioline).
