Characterization of NWM-1, a novel subclass B3 metallo-β-lactamase found in a clinical isolate of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>
The identification of NWM-1 shows the importance of WGS to identify yet unknown carbapenemases and underlines the diversity of subclass B3 β-lactamases. It also shows that although several carbapenemase variants have already been identified and characterized, there are always new variants to be found in clinical isolates.
