The metallo-β-lactamase gene blaVIM-2 was identified in a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in India. The integron encoding blaVIM-2 was virtually identical to those recently found in the United States and Russia. These unusual structures are likely to have arisen from an ancestral integron predating the formation of the 3' conserved sequence.
