Antibiotic resistance has increased markedly in gram-negative bacteria over the last two
decades, and in many cases has been associated with increased mortality and healthcare …

Multidrug resistance is quite common among non-fermenting Gram-negative rods, in
particular among clinically relevant species including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and …

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 …

Pathogenic Acinetobacter species, most notably Acinetobacter baumannii, are a significant
