PER-1 type β-lactamases were screened among ceftazidime-resistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A total of 176 non-repetitive isolates (84 Acinetobacter spp. and 92 P. aeruginosa) were collected during a three month surveillance period. Isolates were obtained from seven intensive care units of seven university hospitals. All strains were screened for bla_PER-1 alleles by PCR. Of the strains, 31 % and 55.4 % of Acinetobacter spp. and P. aeruginosa were positive for bla_PER-1 type genes, respectively.
