Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes that give Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species the exceptional ability to ward-off the antimicrobial onslaught of the carbapenems such as imipenem and meropenem. This study detected the possible occurrence of MBL-producing E. coli and Klebsiella speci...
