Popis: Introduction: Nosocomial infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing carbapenemases represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality among immunosuppressed patients. The aim of our study was to detect the production of metallo-carbapenemases (MBLs) by phenotypic methods and to detect the presence of the MBLs encoding genes (blaIMP and blaVIM) by PCR in P. aeruginosa strains isolated from hospitalized patients to the Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Cluj-Napoca.
