Description
Pompy Dey and co-authors profile drug-resistance genes in Pseudomonas bacteria from a hospital in Bangladesh in a 2026 study. This hospital pathogen shrugs off many antibiotics, and carbapenemase enzymes defeat even last-line carbapenems. Gene-level data from Bangladesh were scarce.
Among forty-eight confirmed isolates, over a quarter held out against a key carbapenem. Resistance genes turned up in about forty-two percent, led by the NDM type. Three isolates carried two carbapenemase genes at once, a worrying stack. A bench test missed several strains with the genes that DNA testing caught. The gene codes matched variants seen around the world. Pairing both test types strengthens tracking and careful drug use.
