A 19-year longitudinal study to characterize carbapenem-nonsusceptible Acinetobacter isolated from patients with bloodstream infections and the contribution of conjugative plasmids to carbapenem resistance and virulence

Background: This study aimed to characterize carbapenem-nonsusceptible Acinetobacter (CNSA) isolated from patients with bacteremia from 1997 to 2015. Methods: A total of 173 CNSA (12.3%) was recovered from 1403 Acinetobacter isolates. The presence of selected β-lactamase genes in CNSA was determined...
