Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To study the prevalence, nature, involved genetic elements and epidemiology of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas putida isolated in a Spanish hospital between 2005 and 2008. METHODS: Etests were used for susceptibility testing and screening for MBLs, confirmed through bla(VIM) PCRs and sequencing. Clonal relatedness was evaluated by PFGE and multilocus...
