Description

The Ambler classification for carbapenemases utilizes four molecular classes - A, B, C and D. The GIM enzymes identified in Pseudomonas spp. are included in class B. The clinical revelance of of the GIM enzymes is that they can act as reservoires and carriers of the causal factor of resistance. The growing prevalence of carbapenemase-producing organisms reveals the importance of optimizing the detection while minimizing the dissemination of these types of strains.
