Distribution of carbapenemase-encoding genes (blaIMP, blaNDM, blaKPC, blaVIM, and blaOXA-48) in carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Yemen

A study conducted in Sana'a, Yemen, between October 2023 and December 2024 revealed that 65.1% of carbapenem-resistant *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* isolates carry carbapenemase-encoding genes, predominantly *blaOXA-48*, *blaVIM*, and *blaNDM*, highlighting extensive multidrug resistance and the urgent need for enhanced surveillance and infection control measures.
