  • Title: First report of an extensively drug-resistant VIM-2 metallo-β-lactamase-producing Brevundimonas diminuta clinical isolate.
    Author: Almuzara MN, Barberis CM, Rodríguez CH, Famiglietti AM, Ramirez MS, Vay CA.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2012 Aug; 50(8):2830-2. PubMed ID: 22692741.
    Abstract:
    In the literature, only three Brevundimonas diminuta environmental isolates carrying metallo-β-lactamase genes were recently published. However, so far, no B. diminuta clinical isolates carrying these carbapenem resistance genes have been described. Here we report the first VIM-2 metallo-β-lactamase-producing B. diminuta clinical isolate obtained from an immunocompromised patient.
