摘要: In Medellin, Colombia, three Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates with high-level carbapenem resistance (MIC ≥ 256 μg/ml) and an isolate of Citrobacter freundii reduced susceptibility to imipenem produced the plasmid-mediated class A carbapenemase KPC-2. This is first report a KPC-type β-lactamase identified outside family Enterobacteriaceae.
