Abstract

Pseudomonas asiatica is a recently proposed species of the genus Pseudomonas . This study describes eight isolates of carbapenem-resistant P. asiatica harboring bla NDM-1 and bla VIM-2 , genes encoding metallo-β-lactamase (MBL). These isolates were obtained from urine samples of patients hospitalized in Myanmar. These isolates were resistant to carbapenems but susceptible to colistin.
