Study map
Cities where Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated are colour-coded on the basis of if and when MBL-producing species were detected. MBL=metallo-β-lactamase.

3. Figure 2 Genetic context and distribution of MBL-encoding integrons
Gene bank accession numbers given in parentheses. Variable region is between the integrase gene (intI1) and the 3′ conserved sequences. 5′ and 3′ conserved sequences of class 1 integrons are green and MBL gene cassettes are blue. MBL=metallo-β-lactamase.

4. Figure 3
Minimum spanning MLVA trees of MBL-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates by city (A) and type of integron (B)
Nodes (circles) of the dendrogram correspond to MLVA types (profiles). Size of each node is proportional to the number of isolates. Solid lines link MLVA types differing at one VNTR loci and dashed lines those differing at two loci. Corresponding sequence types are shown near each cluster. MLVA=multiple loci VNTR analysis. VNTR=variable number of tandem repeats.
