Occurrence of a new metallo-β-lactamase IMP-4 carried on a conjugative plasmid inCitrobacter youngaefrom the People's Republic of China [PDF]
During the course of an antimicrobial resistance surveillance programme in Guangzhou, the People's Republic of China, single strains of Citrobacter youngae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were identified which were resistant to imipenem and found to carry the carbapenemase gene bla(IMP).

Biochemical characterization of the carbapenem-hydrolyzing β-lactamase AsbM1 fromAeromonas sobriaAER 14M: a member of a novel subgroup of metallo-β-lactamases [PDF]
AsbM1, a carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase produced by Aeromonas sobria AER 14M, was purified chromatographically, with anion exchange chromatography performed in the absence of Zn2+. The molecular mass of AsbM1 was approximately 34,000; the isoelectric point was 9.1.

Prevalence and detection of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia carrying metallo-β-lactamase blaL1 in Beijing, China [PDF]
Intrinsic β-lactam resistance in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is caused by bla L1 and/or bla L2, a kind of metallo-β-lactamase with a broad substrate spectrum including carbapenems. A rapid and sensitive molecular method for the detection of bla L1 in clinical samples is needed to guide therapeutic treatment. In present study, we first described a loop-

First case of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase in Klebsiella pneumoniae from Ecuador: An update for South America [PDF]
To describe a clinical case of Klebsiella pneumoniae harboring a New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) plasmid in Ecuador and to present a map of reports of NDM isolates in South America.The modified Hodge test, carbapenem inactivation method, imipenem-EDTA disk method (synergy), and Rapidec Carba NP test were used to identify antibiotic resistance ...

Molecular characterization ofblaIMP-5, a new integron-borne metallo-β-lactamase gene from anAcinetobacter baumanniinosocomial isolate in Portugal [PDF]
Acinetobacter baumannii 65FFC, an imipenem-resistant clinical strain, isolated from the urine of a patient at the Coimbra University Hospital, Portugal, in 1998, produced a metallo-beta-lactamase with a calculated pI 9.3. The isolate was highly resistant to penicillins, broad-spectrum cephalosporins, including ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefepime ...

Molecular heterogeneity ofblaVIM-2-containing integrons fromPseudomonas aeruginosaplasmids encoding the VIM-2 metallo-β-lactamase [PDF]
A bla(VIM-2) metallo-beta-lactamase determinant, identical to that previously identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa COL-1 isolate from a French hospital, was detected on a 28-kb plasmid carried by a nosocomial isolate of P. aeruginosa from Verona, Italy.
