Open Access Abstract Introduction Hospital-acquired pneumonia HAP due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with high mortality rates. The metallo-p-lactamases MBLs are emerging enzymes that hydrolyze virtually all p-lactams. We aimed to assess P. aeruginosa HAP mortality in a setting of high-rate MBL production Methods A prospective cohort study was performed at two tertiary-care teaching hospitals. A logistic regression model was constructed to identify risk factors for 30-day mortality. Results One-hundred and fifty patients with P. .
