Abstract
A novel plasmid-mediated metallo-beta-lactamase (IMP-9) is described in seven isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Guangzhou, China, isolated in 2000. The gene was carried on a large (approximately 450-kb) IncP-2 conjugative plasmid. This is the first report of carriage of bla(IMP) genes on such large plasmids.
