Novel Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene that suppresses tolerance to carbapenems.

ABSTRACT: A biapenem-tolerant mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated by Tn1737KH insertion. The survival of the mutant 3 h after the addition of biapenem was about 1000 times greater than that of the wild type. The mutant was also tolerant to other biapenems, such as imipenem, panipenem, and meropenem.
