[ 1 ] - Detection of co-harboring OXA-58 and NDM-1carbapenemase producing genes resided on a same plasmid from an Acinetobacter pittii clinical isolate in China

Objective(s): Acinetobacter pittii has become an emerging opportunistic noscomial pathogen worldwide with multi-drug resistance. In the present study, an A. pittii strain was isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sample harboring both OXA-58 and NDM-1carbapenemase producing genes. The mechanisms of carbapenem resistance of the A. pittii strain was investigated.Materials and Methods: Carbap...
