Occurrence of carbapenem multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa carrying blaVIM metallo-β-lactamases and their biofilm phenotypes in Al-Azhar University Hospita

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa are quite a common cause of hospital-acquired infections. The goal of this study was to characterize P. aeruginosa isolates and identify the prevalence rate of P. aeruginosa resistant to imipenem due to metallo-ßlactamase (MBL) genes. A total of 74 P. aeruginosa isolates were obtained between
