Emergence of plasmid-encoded VIM-2–producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical samples in Lebanon

The present study aimed to describe the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical Lebanese patients. The resistance of these isolates is due to the presence of the plasmid-encoded bla(VIM-2) gene. We provide its first description in Lebanon, as well as a descrip...

description The present study aimed to describe the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical Lebanese patients. The resistance of these isolates is due to the presence of the plasmid-encoded bla(VIM-2) gene. We provide its first description in Lebanon, as well as a description of disruption of the oprD gene by mutations.
