Abstract excerpt
The carbapenemase NDM-1 has been identified recently in Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter baumannii as a source of multidrug resistance, including resistance to carbapenems. By analyzing the immediate genetic environment of the bla(NDM-1) carbapenemase gene among a series of NDM-1-producing enterobacterial isolates, a novel gene (ble(MBL), for ble gene associated with the metallo-β-lactamase NDM-1) was...
