Abstract
P. aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen ubiquitously found in the environment and a major cause of nosocomial infections. While the P. aeruginosa ST308 clone has been known to bear bla IMP and bla VIM among global isolates, reports of bla NDM-1 -positive P. aeruginosa ST308 are rare.
