Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the mechanisms underlying the carbapenem resistance of bloodstream isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained from two Korean hospitals. Of the 79 P. aeruginosa isolates, 22 and 21 were resistant to imipenem and meropenem, respectively. The 22 imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates were classified into 7 sequence types (STs) and 13 pulsotypes. Twelve imipenem-resistant isolates from...
