Abstract

ABSTRACT The genetic structure of β-lactamases in Acinetobacter genospecies 3 (AG3) isolates in Taiwan was studied to analyze their high rates of resistance to β-lactams, including carbapenems (57.9%). bla IMP-1 and bla IMP-8 were located in a class 1 integron. bla OXA-58 was bracketed by IS Aba3 . A novel TnpF-like integrase gene was identified upstream of bla VEB-3 . Adjacent to the 5′ sequence of the bla ADC gene, folE was identified. Four new Acinetobacter -derived cephalosporinase (ADC) enzymes were found, which clustered phylogenetically with published AG3 ADC proteins.
