Abstract excerpt
VIM-6, previously reported in two strains from Singapore recovered in 2000, was detected in 16 isolates collected in 2006 in India (12 isolates), Indonesia (two), Korea and the Philippines (one each). High genetic variability was observed among VIM-6-producing isolates (12 ribotypes and 11 pulsed-field gel electrophoresis types), but clones were observed in India and Indonesia; bla(VIM-6)-carrying integrons of...
