Two novelbla DIM-1 - orbla IMP-1 -containing genomic islands (GIs) were discovered by whole-genome sequence analyses in four extensively drug-resistant (XDR)Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from inpatients at a tertiary hospital in Ghana. The strains were of sequence type 234 (ST234) and formed a phylogenetic clade together with ST111, which is recognized as a global high-risk clone.
