First detection of insertion sequence element ISPa1328 in the oprD porin gene of an imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate from an idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patient in Marseille, France

We report here the first case of a carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate harboring the insertion sequence (IS) element ISPa1328 in the oprD gene in an idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patient in France previously treated with imipenem.
