Journal ArticleDOI

Multiplex PCR for genes encoding prevalent OXA carbapenemases in Acinetobacter spp.

TL;DR: A novel multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay able to detect and distinguish alleles encoding three subgroups of acquired OXA carbapenemases that are scattered in Acinetobacter spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiresistant Gram-negative bacteria: the role of high-risk clones in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance

TL;DR: 'high-risk clones' play a major role in the spread of resistance, with the risk lying in their tenacity--deriving from poorly understood survival traits--and a flexible ability to accumulate and switch resistance, rather than to constant resistance batteries.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of ISAba1 in expression of OXA carbapenemase genes in Acinetobacter baumannii

TL;DR: Results suggest that ISAba1 is providing the promoter for blaOXA-51-like and, probably, for blasOxA-23-like, which are likely to be the next generation of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Acinetobacter baumannii by Detection of the blaOXA-51-like Carbapenemase Gene Intrinsic to This Species

TL;DR: The blaOXA-51-like gene was detected in each of 141 isolates of A. baumannii but not in those of 22 other Acinetobacter species.
