Özet

BACKGROUND: In recent years, increase in the prevalence of the metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) production among carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains has been observed. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and distribution of MBL production in carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa strains at different hospitals and to compare with the phenotypic and genotypic methods in MBL production.
