Independent, recurring acquisition of blaDIM-1 and blaNDM-1 in ST-1047. Acquisition of blaDIM-1 involved a 66 kb genomic island that was inserted into gcvP in the chromosome (A). This genomic island shares 16.6 kb of uninterrupted homology at over 99% identity with PAGI-18 and includes In1592 carrying blaDIM-1. Both genomic islands are flanked by IS6100 at the 5′ end. Full-length contigs containing blaNDM-1 in isolates PA20/70/78 were compared to full-length contigs containing blaNDM-1 in FFDD_1011 (B). No homology was detected outside the blaNDM-1 sequence, suggesting separate mobile elements were independently acquired by ST-1047 P. aeruginosa. Photo: ASM Journals.
