Discussion

Analysis shows PCR and WGS detect carbapenem resistance genes in klebsiella pneumoniae, highlighting different strengths in detection accuracy.

WGS and PCR effectively identified common carbapenem resistance genes in klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, yet their detection capabilities diverged significantly.
The analysis revealed the absence of blaVIM and identified blaOXA-48, while PCR detected OXA genes better than WGS, which showed OXA-181 variants.
The presence of all three carbapenemase types was identified by PCR in two isolates, while WGS did not report this co-occurrence of genes.
Both analysis methods have distinct advantages—PCR is efficient but limited, while WGS offers more detailed variant information despite higher resource demands.

Giang et al. (2025) studied this question.
