Extremely Drug-Resistant <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> ST309 Harboring Tandem GES Enzymes: A Newly Emerging Threat in the United States
2019-01-30
Abstract excerpt
Two ST309 Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates resistant to carbapenems and newer β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations were found to harbor the extended spectrum beta-lactamases GES 19 and 26 genetically clustered in tandem. The combination of ceftazidime/avibactam plus aztreonam achieved cure in one patient. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that ST309 P. aeruginosa carrying tandem GES are an emerging l...
