We report the emergence of a novel VIM variant (VIM-24) in a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate in Colombia. The isolate displays MICs for carbapenems below the resistance breakpoints, posing a real challenge for its detection. The blaVIM-24 gene was located within a class 1 integron carried on a large plasmid. Further studies are needed to clarify its epidemiological and clinical impact.
我们报告了在哥伦比亚分离的肺炎克雷伯菌中出现了一种新型 VIM 变体(VIM-24)。该分离株对碳青霉烯类药物的 MIC 值低于耐药临界点,这对其检测构成了真正的挑战。blaVIM-24 基因位于一个大质粒上的 1 类整合子内。需要进一步研究来阐明其流行病学和临床影响。
