Isolation and Identification of L·adecarboxylata Producing IMP-1 Metallo-beta-lactamase / 现代检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the phenotype and genotype in a carbapenem resistant L.adecarboxylata strain.Methods Microbial identification and drug susceptibility test was done with VITEK II Compact.Carbapenemases genes were detec-ted by PCR methods.Results The strain of carbapenem resistant L.adecarboxylata produced IMP-1 carbapenemase.Con-clusion L.adecarboxylata was found only rarely in the clinical isolates.This was the first Isolate of L.adecarboxylata pro-ducing IMP-1 metallo-beta-lactamase.
