Abstract
Four carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas spp. were isolated from patients in Singapore. One Pseudomonas putida isolate contained a blaIMP-1 identical to that first described in Japan. The sequence of a variant blaIMP-1 in Pseudomonas fluorescens contained four silent mutations compared with the original sequence. The remaining P. putida isolates contained blaVIM-6, a novel VIM gene variant.Keywords
