In order to assess the prevalence of carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D β-lactamase genes in
Acinetobacter spp. isolates in China, we conducted a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) …

Acinetobacter baumannii has recently become one of the most important nosocomial
pathogens worldwide due to its resistance to nearly all available antibiotic including …

Objectives Acinetobacter bereziniae has been found to cause health care–associated
infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. The emergence of two …

The bla OXA-51-like gene with an upstream IS Aba1 (IS Aba1-bla OXA-51-like gene) was
originally found on the chromosomes of carbapenem-resistant or-susceptible Acinetobacter …

The genetic structure of β-lactamases in Acinetobacter genospecies 3 (AG3) isolates in
Taiwan was studied to analyze their high rates of resistance to β-lactams, including …

We conducted an epidemiological study concerning carbapenem-non-susceptible clinical
isolates of Acinetobacter spp. in Japan by molecular procedures including carbapenemase …

The purpose of this study was to develop a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mt-PCR)
assay for synchronous detection of carbapenem resistance genes and/or pandrug …

We investigated the distribution of resistance genes and the clonal relationships among
carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from the intensive care unit wards …
