2. FIG. 1
Algorithm proposed by Miriagou et al. [78] for interpretation of results obtained with the KPB/MBL confirmation-based Method B. The algorithm has been modified for the detection of OXA-48-type carbapenemases and the use of screening cut-offs proposed by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. *Ertapenem MIC ≥0.25 mg/L, imipenem MIC ≥2 mg/L or piperacillin–tazobactam (inhibition zone of <16 mm) can also be used. DPA, dipicolinic acid; MBL, metallo-β-lactamase; PBA, phenylboronic acid.

3. FIG. 2
Proposed workflow for the detection of carbapenemases in diagnostic laboratories. MALDI-TOF MS, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry; MLST, multilocus sequence typing; PFGE, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
