Pseudomonas aeruginosa commonly causes nosocomial bloodstream infections and the emergence of a variety of β-lactamases (BLs) is worrying. In 5 hospitals in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, the presence of phenotypes encoding BL genes was established and the genetic diversity of the P. aeruginosa strains recovered from bloodstream infections was analyzed.
