First description of KPC-2-producing Pseudomonas putida in Brazil
Anna Carolina Soares Almeida,Marinalda Anselmo Vilela,Felipe Lira de Sá Cavalcanti,Willames M. B. S. Martins,Marcos Antonio de Morais,Marcia Maria Camargo de Morais +5 more
TL;DR: The PP36 isolate was resistant to all the antimicrobials tested except polymyxin B, and genetic analysis showed the presence of a class 1 integron containing the dhfrXVb gene and the new allele arr-6, which codes for resistance to rifampin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutational and acquired carbapenem resistance mechanisms in multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from Recife, Brazil
Felipe Lira de Sá Cavalcanti,Cristina Rodríguez Mirones,Elena Román Paucar,Laura Álvarez Montes,Tereza Cristina Leal-Balbino,Marcia Maria Camargo de Morais,Luis Martínez-Martínez,Alain A. Ocampo-Sosa +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that the loss of OprD along with overexpression of efflux pumps and β-lactamase production were responsible for the multidrug resistance in the isolates analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI
