Molecular heterogeneity of<i>bla</i><sub>VIM-2</sub>-containing integrons from<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>plasmids encoding the VIM-2 metallo-β-lactamase
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
A bla(VIM-2) metallo-beta-lactamase determinant, identical to that previously identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa COL-1 isolate from a French hospital, was detected on a 28-kb plasmid carried by a nosocomial isolate of P. aeruginosa from Verona, Italy. In this plasmid the bla(VIM-2) determinant was inserted into a class 1 integron of original structure, named In72, that contains a partially deleted intI1...
