Abstract excerpt
Fourteen apparently carbapenem-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates that exhibited colonies within the inhibition zone around carbapenem discs were analysed. MICs of carbapenems were determined and the isolates were genotyped by PFGE. Population analysis, one-step selection of carbapenem-resistant mutants and growth curves of progenitors and carbapenem-resistant subpopulations were performed. Agar...
