VIM-1 Metallo-β-lactamase in Acinetobacter baumannii

In 2004 and 2005, 5 metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-positive Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were found in 2 Greek hospitals. Isolates were unrelated and carried bla(VIM-1) in a class 1 integron; bla(OXA-51-) and bla(OXA-58-like) carbapenemase genes were also detected. VIM-1 MBL in Acinetobacter spp. cau...

VIM-1 MBL in Acinetobacter spp. causes concern, given the increasing resistance of this species.
