Results obtained after the M-PCR I assay, using a 1.8% (m/v) Metaphor agarose gel electrophoresis for the detection of oxacillinase (OXA) genes in A. baumannii isolates. The M-PCR assay amplified the OXA-23 (501 bp) and OXA-51 (353 bp) genes. Lanes 3, 5 and 7 were negative for all of the OXA genes. Lanes 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 were positive for OXA-23 and OXA-51. Lane 6 was positive for OXA-51 only. Lane 1 was the negative control. Lane “L” represented the O’Range Ruler™ 100 bp DNA ladder
