title: Metallo-beta-lactamase gene bla(IMP-15) in a class 1 integron, In95, from Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from a hospital in Mexico.
abstract: During 2003, 40 carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates collected in a Mexican tertiary-care hospital were screened for metallo-beta-lactamase production. Thirteen isolates produced IMP-15, and 12 had a single pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern. The bla(IMP-15) gene cassette was inserted in a plasmid-borne integron with a unique array of gene cassettes and was named In95.
