The isolate had high levels of resistance to carbapenems but retained susceptibility to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. The bla IMI-1 gene was chromosomally encoded. Detection of the IMI-1 producer highlights the diversity of carbapenemases in a local clinical setting. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.053363-0
