First report of OXA-143-lactamase producing Acinetobacter baumannii inQom
Authors
Abstract:
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-duplicate A. baumannii isolates were obtained from clinical specimens in four teaching hospitals in Qom in the central of Iran. The antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates was tested by standard disk diffusion and prevalence of bla OXA genes was investigated by PCR method. Results: Among 97 carbapenem non-susceptible isolates of A. baumannii, 90.72% (88 isolates) isolates showed extensive drug resistance to multiple antibiotics. Among carbapenem resistant isolates, 100% carried blaOXA-51-like, 82.47% carried blaOXA-23-like, 55.67% carried blaOXA-58-like, 22.68% carried blaOXA-40-like and 14.43% had blaOXA-143-like resistance genes. Conclusion: This study demonstrated high genetic diversity of OXA genes among isolates of A. baumannii in Qom, Iran.

full textFirst report of OXA-72 producing Acinetobacter baumannii in Romania
This is the first report of an OXA-72-producing Acinetobacter baumannii strain in Romania, isolated from chronic leg ulcer samples. Identification of the strain was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Presence of carbapenem resistance genes was investigated by PCR and sequencing. Our data support the spread of the bla OXA-72 gene in East...

by the integration of a partly truncated class 2 integron as well as the deletion of large parts of the mobA gene (including the mobB gene) and the tetracycline resistance gene tet(B). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of class 2-associated resistance gene cassettes in members of the genus Pasteurella. In contrast to P. multocida, which is found in the respiratory trac...
full textOXA-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...
full textFirst report of Oxa-72-producing Acinetobacter calcoaceticus in Lebanon
Emergence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. has been increasingly reported worldwide. We report here the first detection of an Acinetobacter calcoaceticus isolate from vegetables in Lebanon carrying the bla Oxa-72 gene. These findings show that the Lebanese environment may constitute a potential reservoir for this antibiotic resistance gene.
