ABSTRACT
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
