Molecular characterization of resistance mechanisms in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates resistant to carbapenems

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Emergence of carbapenem resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases the therapeutic dilemma. In this study, we investigated various mechanisms involved in the resistance of P. aeruginosa clinical isolates to carbapenems. METHODOLOGY: P. aeruginosa isolates were isolated from different clinical samples. The antimicrobial susceptibility was evaluated by disc diffusion method. Carbapenemases were...
