Genetic Characterization of Plasmid-Borne blaOXA-58 in Distinct Acinetobacter Species

Genetic Characterization of Plasmid-Borne blaOXA-58 in Distinct Acinetobacter Species

Although the blaOXA-58 gene has been infrequently described in Brazil, contrasting with other bordering South American countries, we verified the maintenance of this resistance determinant over time among carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter species isolates, not only in nosocomial settings but also i...
