Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Harboring OXA-24 Carbapenemase, Spain

In February 2006, a patient colonized with a multidrug-resistant sequence type 56 Acinetobacter baumannii strain was admitted to a hospital in Madrid, Spain. This strain spread rapidly and caused a large outbreak in the hospital. Clinicians should be alert for this strain because its spread would ha...
