Insertion sequence IS18 mediates overexpression of blaOXA-257 in a carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter bereziniae isolate.
Sir, Acinetobacter bereziniae, previously known as Acinetobacter genomic species 10, has been isolated primarily from clinical specimens and the hospital environment and more rarely from various other sources, including vegetables, soil and animals. Antibiotic resistance is rarely reported in this species. Over the last decade, carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter spp., mainly Acinetobacter b...
متن کاملFirst report of OXA-143-lactamase producing Acinetobacter baumannii inQom
Objective(s):Antibiotic resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii and outbreaks caused by this organism have been reported from several areas of the world. The present study aimed at determining the antibiotic susceptibility profiles and the distribution of OXA-type beta-lactamases among Iranian Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Qom of Iran. Materials and Methods: For this study, 108 non-duplic...
متن کاملTwo Multiplex Real-Time PCR Assays to Detect and Differentiate Acinetobacter baumannii and Non- baumannii Acinetobacter spp. Carrying blaNDM, blaOXA-23-Like, blaOXA-40-Like, blaOXA-51-Like, and blaOXA-58-Like Genes
Nosocomial infections caused by Acinetobacter spp. resistant to carbapenems are increasingly reported worldwide. Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter (CRA) is becoming a serious concern with increasing patient morbidity, mortality, and lengths of hospital stay. Therefore, the rapid detection of CRA is essential for epidemiological surveillance. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been extensively...
متن کاملFirst report of the carbapenem-hydrolyzing oxacillinase OXA-58 in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Italy.
Emergence of Acinetobacter baumannii with resistance or reduced susceptibility to carbapenems has been reported worldwide (4). Acinetobacter may develop resistance to carbapenems through various mechanisms, including decreased permeability, efflux pump overexpression, and production of carbapenemases (3, 4, 9). Four of the eight carbapenemase-hydrolyzing oxacillinase (OXA) clusters have been id...
متن کاملEmergence and widespread dissemination of OXA-23, -24/40 and -58 carbapenemases among Acinetobacter spp. in Asia-Pacific nations: report from the SENTRY Surveillance Program.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and dissemination of acquired carbapenem-hydrolysing class D beta-lactamase (class D carbapenemase)- and metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-encoding genes among Acinetobacter spp. isolates recovered from medical centres in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. METHODS During 2006-07, 41 medical centres located in 10 countries in the APAC reg...
