چکیده
This is the first report of an Acinetobacter baumannii from clinical origin carrying the bla OXA-58 gene in Brazil. The isolate included in this study was from a patient during an outbreak in Porto Alegre, RS, Southern Brazil, in 2007. It was resistant to most of the beta-lactams tested, it has also the bla OXA-65 gene and the ISAbal sequence located upstream to both bla OXA genes detected and it has a MIC of imipenem of 64 μg/mL.

We distinguished the four alleles of OXA subgroups from 339 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii using Polymerase Chain Reaction, and investigated distributions of OXA subgroups in clinical isolated strains. A total of 196 Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated from the Central Hospital of Zhumadian between 2010 and 2014. Amplification of OXA genes, blaOXA-23, blaOXA-24, blaOXA-51 and blaOXA-58, w...

A recent article by Higgins et al. reported the identification of a novel carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D -lactamase (CHDL), defined as OXA-143, in a carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strain isolated in Brazil in 2004 (5). This enzyme, which has 88% identity with OXA-40, is the first representative of a novel subgroup of CHDLs whose prevalence remains to be determined (5). In an attem...
