Rates of metallo-beta-lactamase and 16S rRNA methylase production were investigated in 51 imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates collected from hospitals in São Paulo, Brazil. Of them, 57% and 75% produced SPM-1 and RmtD, respectively. Of note, 51% produced both enzymes, suggesting that their coproduction is already common in this geographic area.

The flavodiiron protein from Syntrophomonas wolfei has five domains and acts both as an NADH:O or an NADH:H O oxidoreductase.

Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) are a family of enzymes with a significant role in O /H O and/or NO detoxification through the reduction of these species to H O or N O, respectively. All FDPs contain a minimal catalytic unit of two identical subunits, each one having a metallo-β-lactamase-like domain harboring the catalytic diiron site, and a flavodoxin-like domain. However, more complex and diverse arrangements in terms of domains are found in this family, of which the class H enzymes are among the most complex.
