Notes: Forty-five strains were randomly selected: 17 IPM- and MEM-resistant strains, 8 IPM-resistant and MEM-susceptible strains, 5 IPM-susceptible and MEM-resistant strains, and 15 strains with susceptibility to carbapenem used as controls. The sequences were compared with the wild-type PAO1 sequence. “–” Represents “no”.
Abbreviations: IPM, imipenem; MEM, meropenem.
