  • Title: Nosocomial outbreak of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase SHV-5-producing isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Athens, Greece.

    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 2004 Jun; 48(6):2277-9. PubMed ID: 15155233.
    Abstract:
    Seven nonrepetitive Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates producing the clavulanic acid-inhibited extended-spectrum beta-lactamase SHV-5 were isolated in the same hospital in Athens, Greece, from 1998 to 2002. All isolates except one were clonally related, and the bla(SHV-5) gene was chromosomally located. This study underlined that this gene, which is widespread in Enterobacteriaceae in Greece, may disseminate also in P. aeruginosa.
