This work reports, for the first time, the presence of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moreover, this is the first report of the NDM-1 presence in the Balkan region. Cosmid gene libraries of carbapenem-nonsusceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates MMA83 and MMA533 were screened for the presence of metallo-β-lactamases. Accordingly, both MMA83 and MMA533 carried the bla(NDM-1) gene. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis indicated that strain ...[more]
