Providencia stuartii with VIM-1 metallo-β-lactamase

VIM-1 Metallo-β-lactamase in Acinetobacter baumannii

In 2004 and 2005, 5 metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-positive Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were found in 2 Greek hospitals. Isolates were unrelated and carried blaVIM-1 in a class 1 integron; bla(OXA-51-) and bla(OXA-58-like) carbapenemase genes were also detected. VIM-1 MBL in Acinetobacter spp. causes concern, given the increasing resistance of this species.

First occurrence of an Escherichia coli clinical isolate producing the VIM-1/VIM-2 hybrid metallo-beta-lactamase VIM-12.

Gram-negative bacteria producing VIM-type metallo-lactamases (MBLs) are increasingly isolated worldwide (8). The VIM group includes at least 13 variants, clustered into three evolutionary lineages, driven by VIM-1, VIM-2, and VIM-7 (www.lahey.org/studies/other.asp#table1). blaVIM-12 is a recently identified blaVIM-1/VIM-2 hybrid gene, originally found in 2005 in a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical...
