Spread of Integron-Associated VIM-Type Metallo-β-Lactamase Genes among Imipenem-Nonsusceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains in Greek Hospitals

Fifty-eight imipenem-nonsusceptible (MIC ≥ 8 μg/ml) Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated during May 2001 in 15 Greek hospitals were studied. Thirty-six isolates derived from nine hospitals carried VIM-type metallo-β-lactamase genes, as found by PCR. In 34 isolates, bla(VIM) was associated with cl...
