Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterial pathogen responsible for severe hospital-acquired infections, and is capable of forming persistent reservoirs in hospital sink drains, creating a transmission risk. In our hospital, we have cultured not only carbapenemase-producing, Verona Integron-encoded Metallo-beta-lactamase (VIM)-positive P. aeruginosa , but also VIM-positive non- aeruginosa Pseudom...
