Variability in carbapenemase activity of intrinsic OxaAb (OXA-51-like) β-lactamase enzymes in Acinetobacter baumannii
20 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To measure the variability in carbapenem susceptibility conferred by different OxaAb variants, characterize the molecular evolution of oxaAb and elucidate the contribution of OxaAb and other possible carbapenem resistance factors in the clinical isolates using WGS and LC-MS/MS. METHODS: Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed on 10 clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. Carbapenem MICs...
