Abstract

ABSTRACT The sequence of the bla ARI-1 gene from imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii 6B92 has been determined. The structural gene encodes a 273-amino-acid protein which is most related to the OXA class D β-lactamases. The conserved S-T-F-K and K-T-G motifs were identified in the ARI-1 protein sequence, also named OXA-23, but significantly, a point mutation (Y→F) was identified in the Y-G-N conserved motif, also known to function in the active site.
