This study was performed to characterize the chromosomal metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) of Chryseobacterium indologenes isolated from Korea and to propose a clustering method of IND MBLs based on their amino acid similarities. Chromosomal MBL genes were amplified by PCR from 31 clinical isolates of E. indologenes. Nucleotide sequencing was performed by the dideoxy chain termination method using these PCR products. Antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined by the agar dilution method. PCR experiments showed that all 31 E. indologenes isolates contained all blaIND genes. DNA sequence analysis revealed that E. indologenes isolates possessed ten types of blaIND gene, including seven novel variants (blaIND-8 to blaIND-14). The most common combination of MBL was IND-2 (n = 18). Minimum inhibitory concentrations of imipenem and meropenem for the isolates harboring novel IND MBLs were ≥ 16 μg/mL. IND MBLs were grouped in three clusters, based on amino acid similarities.
