Abstract
ABSTRACTThis work reports the identification of the first case of a KΡC-2-producingPseudomonas putidaisolate (PP36) in Brazil. The PP36 isolate was resistant to all the antimicrobials tested except polymyxin B. In addition to the discoveredblaKPC-2gene, genetic analysis showed the presence of a class 1 integron containing thedhfrXVb gene and the new allelearr-6, which codes for resistance to rifampin. These elements were found in an IncFI 65-kb plasmid.
