Challenge of drug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: clonal spread of NDM-1-positive ST-308 within a tertiary hospital
Abstract
MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious global threat to healthcare institutions. The mechanism by which drug resistance can be acquired is variable, but acquired carbapenemase production has been reported in P. aeruginosa. An investigation was performed to determine the rate and genomic epidemiology of New Delhi MBL (NDM) in β-lactam-non-susceptible isolates.
