| low genetic diversity of the intrinsic oxa-51-like class d carbapenemases among acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates in greece. | this study examined the geographical distribution and diversity of the intrinsic oxa-51-like class d carbapenemases among acinetobacter baumannii clones recovered in three major greek regions from 2000 to 2005. the blaoxa-66 allele was exclusively detected among clonally distinct a. baumannii isolates recovered in the regions of thessaloniki and larissa. this sequence was also the most widespread among a. baumannii isolates in athens, while less frequent were blaoxa-69 and blaoxa-65 alleles. the ... | 2007 | 17109774 |
