title: BlaB-15, a new BlaB metallo-β-lactamase variant found in an Elizabethkingia miricola clinical isolate.
abstract: A multidrug-resistant strain of Elizabethkingia miricola was isolated from the urine of a 2-year-old boy hospitalized for severe clinical conditions. The strain produces 2 metallo-β-lactamases belonging to subclasses B1 and B3: a new BlaB variant (BlaB-15) and a GOB-7-like enzyme.
