Detection of Carbapenemase-Producing <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> in a Hospital
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
Acinetobacter baumannii strains resistant to both imipenem (IPM) and ceftazidime (CAZ) were isolated from 1994 through 1996 at Gunma University Hospital. Nine isolates from different inpatients were examined for carbapenem-hydrolyzing activity and for the carbapemase gene bla(IMP) by the PCR method. All nine isolates were carbapenemase-producing strains that hydrolyzed IPM and that harbored bla(IMP). The bla(IMP)...
