| carbapenem resistance and acquired class d beta-lactamases in acinetobacter baumannii from croatia 2009-2010. | the molecular epidemiology and the genetic basis of carbapenem resistance was investigated in 185 acinetobacter baumannii isolates obtained from 13 centers of northern croatia and istria during 2009-2010. all isolates were multidrug-resistant, and 35 % (n = 64) were resistant to both imipenem and meropenem. isaba1-driven overexpression of the intrinsic bla oxa-51-like gene was observed in all carbapenem resistant isolates, and 69 % of these (n = 44) also produced acquired oxa-type carbapenemases ... | 2014 | 24197438 |
