Abstract excerpt
Almost all cases of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae infections in Japan are caused by blaIMP-positive Enterobacteriaceae (especially blaIMP-6) and infections caused by other types of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae are quite rare. We examined drug resistance genes co-harboring with blaIMP-6 and their inoculum size effects. We screened β-lactamase genes, plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance...
