Abstract excerpt
Nine carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates carrying blaOXA-231 and an ISAba1 upstream occAB1 were evaluated. They were clonally related and belonged to ST107. An OXA-143-producing A. baumannii ST107 strain (Ac-148) that did not possess ISAba1 upstream occAB1 was included in the analysis. Reduction in the expression of occAB1 and a 4-fold increase of carbapenem MICs were observed for all isolates,...
