Abstract |
|
The incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR)
Gram-negative bacteria is increasing, including
metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing
Pseudomonas sp.. The aim of this study
was to screen metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs)-producing Pseudomonas
sp. soil
isolates showing susceptibility to imepenem.. MBL
production was investigated by phenotypic tests
using combined disc diffusion method. During the 3
months period of sampling, 30 isolates of Pseudomonas
sp. were
isolated from soil environments out of which 56.66%
revealed MBL-producing isolates,
43.33% non-producers and 10% showed imepenem
resistant.
Keywords:
Metallo-beta-lactamase,
multidrug-resistant,
Pseudomonas sp..
