The blaVIM gene encodes a metallo-blactamase enzyme with activity against most b-lactams, including carbapenems (Queenan & Bush, 2007). The gene is most often found as an integron-borne gene cassette with high mobility among plasmids, chromosomes and other integrons. It was described initially in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Lauretti et al., 1999) but has disseminated to the Enterobacteriaceae (Queenan & Bush, 2007).
