Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility results with low reproducibility by the same or different methods have been observed for metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Eighteen VIM-1-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates (one per patient) belonging to a single epidemic clone in our hospital (2005 to 2008) but with different susceptibilities to carbapenems were studied. Imipenem MICs ranged from 8 to >128 mg/liter...
