Abstract

ABSTRACTResistance to minocycline has emerged in multidrug-resistantAcinetobacter baumanniiisolates from Buenos Aires hospitals. Few reports about the description and dispersion oftetgenes in this species have been published. We observed the presence oftet(B) in all minocycline-resistant isolates. This gene was found to be associated with the ISCR2mobile element, which may, in part, explain its dispersion.
