Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen that has emerged as a global threat
because of high levels of resistance to many antibiotics, particularly those considered to be …

The OXA β-lactamases were among the earliest β-lactamases detected; however, these
molecular class D β-lactamases were originally relatively rare and always plasmid …

Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is undoubtedly one of the most successful
pathogens in the modern healthcare system. With invasive procedures, antibiotic use and …

Class D β-lactamase-mediated resistance to β-lactams has been increasingly reported
during the last decade. Those enzymes also known as oxacillinases or OXAs are widely …

The increasing trend of carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii worldwide is a
concern since it limits drastically the range of therapeutic alternatives. Metallo-β-lactamases …

IS Aba1 was found in all widespread clones of Acinetobacter baumannii in the United
Kingdom. All isolates studied had a bla OXA-51-like carbapenemase gene; some also had …

ABSTRACT bla OXA-51-like was sought in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter species in a
multiplex PCR, which also detects bla OXA-23-like and class 1 integrase genes. All isolates …
