ABSTRACT We recently detected a novel variant of an IMP-type metallo-β-lactamase gene (blaIMP-68) from meropenem-resistant but imipenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae TA6363 isolated in Tokyo, Japan. blaIMP-68 encodes a Ser262Gly point mutant of IMP-11, and transformation experiments showed that...
