FIM-1, a New Acquired Metallo-β-Lactamase from a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolate from Italy
1 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Acquired metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are resistance determinants of increasing clinical importance in Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, which confer a broad-spectrum β-lactam resistance, including carbapenems. Several such enzymes have been described since the 1990s. In the present study, a novel acquired MBL, named FIM-1, was identified and characterized. The bla(FIM-1) gene was cloned from a...
