Sir,

The emergence of acquired metallo-ß-lactamases (MBLs) in Gram-negative bacteria, especially in Pseudomonas spp., gives rise to significant therapeutic challenges for treating nosocomial infections due to multidrug-resistant pathogens.1 The first reports of transferable MBLs reported IMP types at the end of the 1980s in Japan. The most common MBL identified worldwide is now VIM-2,1,2 but only VIM-5 and IMP-1 MBLs have been identified in Turkey to date.1,3 Although clavulanic acid-inhibited extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs) are rarely reported from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ESBL . . .
