Abstract excerpt
We investigated the efficacy of the PCR-based open reading frame typing (POT) assay for outbreak investigation of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MBL-PA). A total of 53 P. aeruginosa isolates were detected between January 2010 and December 2012 on a hematology ward, of which 6 were identified as MBL-PA with the blaIMP-1 gene. The POT assay revealed the same genotype (207-41) in 3 of 6...
