Molecular characterization of IMP-type metallo- -lactamases among multidrug-resistant Achromobacter xylosoxidans
10 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To analyse the metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) genes and their genetic environments in clinical isolates of Achromobacter xylosoxidans. METHODS: From January 2004 to December 2010, four MBL-producing, multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. xylosoxidans strains were isolated and analysed at a tertiary care university hospital in Japan. Species-level identification was confirmed by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing....
