Evaluation of clonality and carbapenem resistance mechanisms among Acinetobacter baumannii-Acinetobacter calcoaceticus complex and Enterobacteriaceae isolates collected in European and Mediterranean countries and detection of two novel beta-lactamases, GES-22 and VIM-35.

PMID: 252676712014Europe|Mediterranean countries

Key Findings

The study identified two novel beta-lactamases, GES-22 and VIM-35, which confer resistance to various β-lactam antibiotics. GES-22 showed an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase profile, while VIM-35 exhibited a similar susceptibility profile to VIM-1.
