ABSTRACT
Of 396 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from hospital sewage, the blaSPM-1 gene was confirmed in nine. This is the first report of environmental P. aeruginosa strains carrying the blaSPM-1 gene in Brazil. The carbapenem resistance, already disseminated among clinical isolates, has been detected among environmental isolates.
RESUMO
Ao todo, 396 isolados de Pseudomonas aeruginosa foram estudados. O gene blaSPM-1 foi encontrado em nove isolados de efluente hospitalar. Este estudo é o primeiro relato de isolados ambientais de P. aeruginosa com o gene blaSPM-1no Brasil. A resistência aos carbapenêmicos, amplamente disseminada entre isolados clínicos, já é detectada em isolados ambientais.
