Acquired <i>bla</i><sub>VIM</sub> and <i>bla</i><sub>GES</sub> Carbapenemase-Encoding Genes in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>: A Seven-Year Survey Highlighting an Increasing Epidemiological Threat

(1) Background: <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> is a Gram-negative bacterium with several intrinsic and acquired antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. The spread of carbapenemase-encoding genes, an acquired mechanism, enables carbapenem resistance in clinical settings. Detection of the carb...
