  • Title: First nosocomial outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing an integron-borne metallo-beta-lactamase (VIM-2) in the United States.
    Author: Lolans K, Queenan AM, Bush K, Sahud A, Quinn JP.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 2005 Aug; 49(8):3538-40. PubMed ID: 16048978.
    Abstract:
    Carbapenemases are rare in the United States. This is the first report of a United States nosocomial outbreak of pan-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections due to an integron-borne metallo-beta-lactamase, VIM-2. This emergence of carbapenemases on mobile genetic elements in the United States warrants surveillance.
