Sources of diversity of carbapenem resistance levels in Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying blaVIM-1
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the diversity of beta-lactam resistance phenotypes among isolates of a VIM-1-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (VPKP) strain that is endemic in Greek hospitals. METHODS: Five VPKP clinical isolates were studied. MICs of beta-lactams were determined by agar dilution. PFGE of XbaI-digested genomic DNA was used for typing. Profiles of outer membrane proteins...
