First detected OXA-50 carbapenem-resistant clinical isolates Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Bulgaria and interplay between the expression of main efflux pumps, OprD and intrinsic AmpC.

Conclusion. The increased expression or overexpression of MexXY-OprM efflux pumps is the leading cause of carbapenem resistance in our isolates Pseudomonas, detected in 94 % of the bacteria investigated. PMID: 31746726 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
