Emergence of carbapenem-resistant < em > Pseudomonas alcaligenes < /em > and < em > Pseudomonas paralcaligenes < /em > clinical isolates with plasmids harbouring < em > bla < /em > < sub > IMP-1 < /sub > in Japan

Conclusions. These results indicate that the two isolates acquired bla IMP-1 from different sources and that P. alcaligenes and P. paralcaligenes function as vectors and reservoirs of carbapenem-resistant genes in hospitals.PMID:36951922 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001684
