Abstract
ABSTRACTA multidrug-resistantAcinetobacter baumanniiisolate recovered from a patient hospitalized in Switzerland after a transfer from Serbia produced the NDM-1 carbapenemase. TheblaNDM-1gene was part of a chromosomally located Tn125composite transposon bracketed by two copies of the same insertion sequence, ISAba125. This transposon was also associated with the acquisition and expression of theblaNDM-2gene in anA. baumanniiisolate in Germany. Tn125appears to be the main vehicle for dissemination ofblaNDMgenes in that species.
