EnglishAbstract
Based on imipenem resistance in an Acinetobacter genospecies 3 clinical isolate, we were able to identify, for the first time in this genomic species, a plasmid-encoded blaOXA-58 gene that was 100% homologous to the same gene in Acinetobacter baumannii.Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo y Instituto de Salud Carlos III y Spanish Network for the Research in Infectious Diseases REIPI RD06/000
