Epidemiological data on carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria on the African continent are limited. Here, we report the identification of VIM-2-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Tanzania. Eight out of 90 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from a tertiary care hospital in Dar es Salaam were shown to harbor bla(VIM-2). The bla(VIM-2)-positive isolates belonged to two different sequence types (ST), ST244 and ST640, with bla(VIM-2) located in an unusual integron structure lacking the 3' conserved region of qacΔE1-sul1.
非洲大陆上产碳青霉烯酶革兰氏阴性菌的流行病学数据有限。在此,我们报告在坦桑尼亚鉴定出产VIM-2的铜绿假单胞菌分离株。来自达累斯萨拉姆一家三级护理医院的90株铜绿假单胞菌临床分离株中,有8株被证明携带bla(VIM-2)。bla(VIM-2)阳性分离株属于两种不同的序列类型(ST),即ST244和ST640,bla(VIM-2)位于一个不寻常的整合子结构中,该结构缺乏qacΔE1-sul1的3'保守区域。
