Abstract:Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) encoding carbapenem resistance in wastewater are a well-known serious threat to human health. Twelve Pseudomonas otitidis isolates obtained from a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Hawaii were found to possess a subclass B3 MBL – POM ( P. otitidis βMBL), with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) range of 8–16 mg/L. The unrooted neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree showed that these blaPOM genes isolated in wastewater samples (n = 12) were distinctly different from oth… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
