Population‐Based Epidemiological Study of Infections Caused by Carbapenem‐Resistant<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>in the Calgary Health Region: Importance of Metallo‐β‐Lactamase (MBL)–Producing Strains

Abstract

MBL-producing P. aeruginosa strains were associated with a higher case-fatality rate and invasive disease. Our study highlights the potential importance of molecular laboratory techniques in infection control and patient care.
