OXA-58, a novel class D {beta}-lactamase involved in resistance to carbapenems in Acinetobacter baumannii.
A carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strain was isolated in Toulouse, France, in 2003. Cloning and expression in Escherichia coli identified the carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase OXA-58, which is weakly related (less than 50% amino acid identity) to other oxacillinases. It hydrolyzed penicillins, oxacillin, and imipenem but not expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. The bla(OXA-58) gen...
متن کاملMultidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Harboring OXA-24 Carbapenemase, Spain
In February 2006, a patient colonized with a multidrug-resistant sequence type 56 Acinetobacter baumannii strain was admitted to a hospital in Madrid, Spain. This strain spread rapidly and caused a large outbreak in the hospital. Clinicians should be alert for this strain because its spread would have serious health consequences.
متن کاملOXA-253, a variant of the carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D β-lactamase OXA-143 in Acinetobacter baumannii.
The carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D β-lactamase OXA-253 was identified in an Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolate belonging to sequence type 113 (ST113) in Brazil. OXA-253 shares 93.8% amino acid identity with OXA-143. The blaOXA-253 gene is located on a ca. 20-kb plasmid. The genetic environment of the blaOXA-253 gene shares the highest identity with ubiquitous GR2 group plasmids usually ca...

conclusions the present study showed that bla oxa-23-like was the most frequent carbapenemase identified among carbapenem-resistant a. baumannii isolated in tehran hospitals. evaluation of antibiotic resistance genes in a. baumannii, is necessary to control further dissemination of these antibiotic resistant genes. results results showed that 123 of 131 (93.89%) acinetobacter species, possessed...
متن کاملBiofilm Formation and β-lactamase Enzymes: A Synergism Activity in Acinetobacter baumannii Isolated from Wound Infection
Background and Objective: Biofilm formation plays a crucial role in wound infections and increases the bacteria resistance to treatment. The present study investigated the relationship between the biofilm formation, ESBL, AmpC, and KPC enzymes in Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from the wound specimens. Materials and Methods: Eighty- nine A. baumannii isolates were collected from wound specim...
