Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes Associated with Carbapenem Resistance from the Whole-Genome Sequence ofAcinetobacter baumanniiIsolates from Malaysia

Abstract excerpt

Background. The spread of carbapenem-resistantA. baumannii(CrAb) is gaining worldwide attention. The spread of this pathogen is largely due to its ability to acquire various resistance genes of intrinsic and extrinsic origins that confer unpredictable susceptibility toβ-lactams. The aim of this study was to analyzeβ-lactamase genetic compositions of CrAb in Malaysia.Methods. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was...
