Abstract
Several works have demonstrated the presence of metallo--lactamases (MBLs) in clinical bacteria. However, in environmental isolates, few works have reported on these enzymes. In this study, we report for the first time two environmental isolates of Buttiauxella sp. recovered from chrysanthemum plantations in Brazil containing bla(VIM) gene and producing MBLs. (AU)
