First Report of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolate Coharboring KPC and VIM Carbapenemases

Carbapenemases, such as KPC and VIM, are the most powerful β-lactamases, being able to hydrolyze nearly all β-lactams ([12][1]). Since the first identification of KPC-producing ([15][2]) and VIM-producing ([16][3]) Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Colombia, their interhospital clonal
