Abstract
Carbapenem and amikacin resistance on a large conjugative Acinetobacter baumannii plasmid.
Highlights
We have further examined the causes of resistance
Worldwide, most multiply antibiotic-resistant (MAR), and carbapenem-resistant, Acinetobacter baumannii causing infections belong to global clone 1 (GC1) or global clone 2 (GC2)
Carbapenem and ticarcillin/clavulanate resistance was due to the blaOXA-23 carbapenemase gene, which was within Tn2006
Summary
We have further examined the causes of resistance. Using PCR as described previously,[4] D46 was shown to contain the strA-strB, sul[2] and tetA(B) genes, responsible for streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline resistance, respectively.
