Abstract: Verona-integron-encoded metallo-[beta]-lactamase-producing carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (VIM-CRPA) and other carbapenemaseproducing organisms (CPOs) are emerging public health threats. CPOs cause infections that are often extensively drug-resistant and associated with substantial rates of [...]
