Abstract

A multidrug-resistant strain of Pseudomonas putida was isolated from the urine of a 65-year-old women hospitalized for serious clinical conditions. Using whole genome sequencing a novel blaIMP gene, blaIMP-58 was discovered and characterized.

Keywords: Carbapenemase; Metallo-beta-lactamases; Multiresistant.
