Carbapenem resistance among Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from India: evidence for nationwide endemicity of multiple metallo-beta-lactamase clones (VIM-2, -5, -6, and -11 and the newly characterized VIM-18).

PMID: 191146772009India

Key Findings

The study identifies multiple VIM metallo-beta-lactamase variants (VIM-2, VIM-5, VIM-6, VIM-11, and VIM-18) in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from India, highlighting their widespread distribution and genetic diversity.
