Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To identify key factors of the expansion of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MPPA) in Poland, focusing on the role of clonal epidemic(s). METHODS: MPPA isolates were typed by PFGE, followed by MLST. blaVIM/IMP MBL genes were amplified and sequenced within class 1 integrons. Their location was assessed by S1 nuclease-hybridization assays. Short-read WGS was performed, and...
