  • Title: Outbreak of infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing VIM-1 carbapenemase in Greece.
    Author: Tsakris A, Pournaras S, Woodford N, Palepou MF, Babini GS, Douboyas J, Livermore DM.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2000 Mar; 38(3):1290-2. PubMed ID: 10699045.
    Abstract:
    Resistance to imipenem and meropenem was observed in 211 (16.5%) isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovered in a Greek university hospital during 1996 to 1998. In six isolates selected from throughout this period, high-level resistance to both carbapenems (MICs >/= 128 microg/ml) was associated with production of the class B beta-lactamase VIM-1. bla(VIM)-bearing isolates belonged to serotype O:12 and were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
