  • Title: Enterobacter cloacae producing an uncommon class A carbapenemase, IMI-1, from Singapore.
    Author: Teo JWP, La MV, Krishnan P, Ang B, Jureen R, Lin RTP.
    Journal: J Med Microbiol; 2013 Jul; 62(Pt 7):1086-1088. PubMed ID: 23558141.
    Abstract:
    In this study, we describe the characterization of an infrequently encountered class A carbapenemase, IMI-1, from a clinical Enterobacter cloacae isolate. The isolate had high levels of resistance to carbapenems but retained susceptibility to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. The blaIMI-1 gene was chromosomally encoded. Detection of the IMI-1 producer highlights the diversity of carbapenemases in a local clinical setting.
