Emergence of Metallo-beta-Lactamase producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Pakistan.
J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;55(7):302-4.

We report a case of urinary tract infection due to metallo-beta-lactamase producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to carbapenems. This report signals an ominous development. Unless curbed by judicious use of antibiotics and early detection by screening tests, spread of this plasmid-mediated resistance can render the carbapenems ineffective.
