Abstract excerpt
This study examined the geographical distribution and diversity of the intrinsic OXA-51-like class D carbapenemases among Acinetobacter baumannii clones recovered in three major Greek regions from 2000 to 2005. The blaOXA-66 allele was exclusively detected among clonally distinct A. baumannii isolates recovered in the regions of Thessaloniki and Larissa. This sequence was also the most widespread among A....
