Genetic Diversity of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Carrying blaVIM–2 and blaKPC–2 Genes That Spread on Different Genetic Environment in Colombia

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen with an increase in the frequency of infections caused by multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) strains, limiting the available therapeutic options. The most troublesome resistance is the acquisition and production of carbapenemases such as Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamases (VIM), the most frequent and...
