Abstract Introduction: Imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an organism
expressing metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) enzyme, and is a serious agent of hospital infection …

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes
serious problems, especially in people, who have immunodeficiency. In recent times …

Objectives: Unraveling mechanisms whereby Pseudomonas aeruginosa becomes resistant
to carbapenems through testing 114 non-duplicate P. aeruginosa clinical isolates for their …

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa has emerged as a serious
problem in many hospitals and intensive care units. The purpose of this study was to …

Abstract Background and Aim: Class B beta-lactamases, termed metallo-beta-lactamases
(MBLs) such as VIM, IMP and SPM are an increasingly serious clinical problems. They have …

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen, which causes
serious problems especially in people who have immunodeficiency. Recently, metallo …

Results: Out of 236 examined isolates, 122 isolates (51.4%) were resistant to imipenem. The
IMP-EDTA combination test showed that among 122 imipenem resistant strains, 110 strains …

Discussion & conclusion: In this study, blaVIM dominant gene in P. aeruginosa urinary
strains resistant to ceftazidime was administrative. Given the importance of MBL-producing …

Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) are being reported with increasing frequency worldwide.
