Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The possible contribution of metallo-beta-lactamases in the frequent detection of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in a tertiary Greek hospital in Central Greece was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All carbapenem-resistant (imipenem- and/or meropenem-resistant) P. aeruginosa isolates recovered from separate patients during a 1 year period in the Clinical Microbiology...
