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 …

During the past few decades Acinetobacter baumannii has evolved from being a commensal

OBJECTIVES: To compare the clinical features and antimicrobial susceptibilities of the
clinically most important Acinetobacter species Acinetobacter baumannii, Acinetobacter pittii …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a driving force to the evolution of bacteria. The fast
emergence of antimicrobial resistance reflects the ability of genetic adaptation of pathogens …

Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging as an important nosocomial pathogen worldwide. We
report molecular epidemiology of 65 carbapenem-nonsusceptible A. baumannii isolates …

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that is frequently involved in
outbreaks of infection, occurring mostly in intensive care units. The increasing incidence of …

ABSTRACT A clinical strain of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus resistant to carbapenems was
isolated from a blood culture sample from an inpatient in a hospital in Madrid (Spain) during …

The Class D β-lactamases have emerged as a prominent resistance mechanism against β-
lactam antibiotics that previously had efficacy against infections caused by pathogenic …

Background Prokaryotic plasmids have a dual importance in the microbial world: first they
have a great impact on the metabolic functions of the host cell, providing additional traits that …

Background/Objective Several studies have described the epidemiological distribution of bla
OXA-58-harboring Acinetobacter baumannii in China. However, there is limited data …
