Insertional inactivation of oprD in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa leading to carbapenem resistance
9 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Recently, a Texas, USA hospital isolated seven Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains displaying dual resistance to fluoroquinolones and imipenem. These isolates were resistant to the fluoroquinolones through overexpression of the MexXY efflux pump and/or QRDR mutations and resistant to imipenem through downregulation of oprD transcription. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the molecular events responsible for...
