Genomic characterisation of the first case of IMP-13-producing carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST313/ExoU+/O1 isolate in Chile
This study provides the first genomic characterization of an IMP-13-producing ST313 carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolate (150UDEC/24) in Chile, containing multiple resistance genes and the ExoU virulence factor. Phylogenetic analysis suggests unique evolution, emphasizing the need for continued genomic surveillance to monitor the emergence of highly resistant, virulent strains in clinical settings.
