Characterization of the Metallo-β-Lactamase Determinant of Acinetobacter baumannii AC-54/97 Reveals the Existence of bla(IMP) Allelic Variants Carried by Gene Cassettes of Different Phylogeny

The metallo-β-lactamase determinant of Acinetobacter baumannii AC-54/97, a clinical isolate from Italy that was previously shown to produce an enzyme related to IMP-1, was isolated by means of a PCR methodology which targets amplification of gene cassette arrays inserted into class 1 integrons. Sequ...
