Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Acquired production of metallo-β-lactamases is an important mechanism of resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The objective of this study was to investigate the production of metallo-β-lactamase and the genetic diversity among ceftazidime-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates from State of Sergipe, Brazil. METHODS: Metallo-β-lactamase was investigated using the disk approximation test and polymerase...
