Abstract:Genetic structures surrounding the carbapenem-hydrolyzing oxacillinase gene bla OXA-58 were characterized in a series of OXA-58-positive Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from different countries. We showed that in most of the cases, acquisitions of the bla OXA-58 -containing overall structure, including insertion sequence elements, may be likely the results of recombination events. In type strain A. baumannii MAD, the genetic structure surrounding the bla OXA-58 gene was bracketed by two 27-bp repeated… Show more
