VIM-60 producing multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa in Japan
In 2017, A total of 300 clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa were obtained in 47 prefectures in Japan. The presence of carbapenem resistant genes, including blaGESs, blaIMPs, and blaVIMs, were determined using PCR and sequence. Of them, 2 isolates harbored novel VIM-type Metallo-beta-Lactamase Variant, VIM-60. The 2 isolates were analyzed by next generation sequencer.
