Emergence in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae Clinical Isolates of the VIM-4 Metallo-β-Lactamase Encoded by a Conjugative Plasmid

Resistance to carbapenems is an emerging problem among gram-negative hospital pathogens. A transferable plasmid encoding the VIM-4 metallo-β-lactamase was detected in isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae obtained from a single patient under carbapenem therapy. Thus, enterobacte...
