BACKGROUND: Carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter species, especially A. baumannii, are frequently associated with treatment failures and hospital outbreaks; thus, rapid and reliable detection of specific resistance markers is paramount. The most common carbapenemases found in A. baumannii, namely OXA-23-like, OXA-24-like, and OXA-58-like, belong to the oxacillinase group (class D β-lactamases) which is...
