Genetic and biochemical characterization of an acquired subgroup B3 metallo-beta-lactamase gene, blaAIM-1, and its unique genetic context in Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Australia.

PMID: 229858862012Australia

Key Findings

The study characterizes blaAIM-1, a novel subgroup B3 metallo-beta-lactamase gene found in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Australia, which confers resistance to various β-lactam antibiotics except aztreonam, cefepime, imipenem, and meropenem.
