A ceftazidime-avibactam-resistant KPC-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain was isolated in Argentina from a tracheal aspirate. The patient was treated with ceftazidime-avibactam in combination with other agents for 130 days. Whole-genome sequencing of P. aeruginosa identified a D179Y substitution in the Ω loop of KPC-3, corresponding to KPC-31, integrated at the chromosome. The strain belonged to the sequence type 235/O11 (ST235/O11) high-risk clone. Evaluation of carbapenemase detection assa ...[more]
