Plasmid-encoded metallo-beta-lactamase (IMP-6) conferring resistance to carbapenems, especially meropenem.
PMID: 113027932001
Key Findings
The study identifies IMP-6, a plasmid-encoded metallo-beta-lactamase that confers resistance to carbapenems, particularly meropenem, through a single point mutation resulting in an amino acid substitution (Ser-196 to Gly).
