Carbapenem Resistance in Acinetobacter nosocomialis and Acinetobacter junii Conferred by Acquisition of blaOXA-24/40 and Genetic Characterization of the Transmission Mechanism between Acinetobacter Genomic Species

Carbapenem Resistance in Acinetobacter nosocomialis and Acinetobacter junii Conferred by Acquisition of blaOXA-24/40 and Genetic Characterization of the Transmission Mechanism between Acinetobacter Genomic Species

ABSTRACT Carbapenem resistance is increasing among Gram-negative bacteria, including the genus Acinetobacter. This study aimed to characterize, for the first time, the development of carbapenem resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter junii and Acinetobacter nosocomialis conferred by the acq...
