Abstract
ABSTRACTTheblaOXA-51-like gene, originally intrinsic toAcinetobacter baumannii, had been detected in two clones ofAcinetobacter nosocomialisand one clone ofAcinetobactergenomic species “Close to 13TU.” TheseblaOXA-51-like genes, all preceded by ISAba1, were located on plasmids that might have originated withA. baumannii. The plasmid-borne ISAba1--blaOXA-51-like confers a high level of carbapenem resistance and affects the accuracy of usingblaOXA-51-like detection as a tool for differentiatingA. baumanniifrom otherAcinetobacterspecies.
