TABLE 3.

Acquired β-lactamase genes identified in meropenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates (n = 139)a,b

Isolate β-Lactamase group Total
MBL MBL + KPC MBL + ESBL MBL + OXA ESBL Negative
P. aeruginosa 27 1 1 1 8 101 139
a

ESBL, extended-spectrum β-lactamase; KPC, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase; MBL, metallo-β-lactamase; OXA, oxacillinase; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; WGS, whole-genome sequencing.

b

Data were generated by WGS if meropenem-resistant isolates were resistant to cefiderocol (4/139) or PCR if isolates were susceptible to cefiderocol (135/139). Isolates are grouped as “negative” if only intrinsic β-lactamase genes were present.
