Emergence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST179 producing both IMP-16 and KPC-2
This is the first documented case of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST179 strain carrying the blaKPC-35 gene, and it represents the first report of a P. aeruginosa co-harboring blaIMP-16 and either blaKPC-2 or blaKPC-35, which wre imported from Peru to Spain, highlighting a threat due to the capacity of s...

| Resumo: | This is the first documented case of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST179 strain carrying the blaKPC-35 gene, and it represents the first report of a P. aeruginosa co-harboring blaIMP-16 and either blaKPC-2 or blaKPC-35, which wre imported from Peru to Spain, highlighting a threat due to the capacity of spreading carbapenem-resistance via plasmid conjugation. |
