The most prevalent mechanism of carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter spp. is due to the presence of carbapenem-hydrolysing class D β-lactamases, with OXA-23 being the most common. The observed dispersion of blaOXA-23 is attributed in part to the spread of successful A. baumannii global clones such as GC1 and GC2 [2]. However, in the most recent years an increased emergence of blaNDM-1-harbouring Acinetobacter spp. isolates has been reportedapplication/pdf108-110engopenAccessAcinetobacter baumanniiNDM-1ArgentinaCarbapenems ResistancearticleRodgers, DejaPasteran, FernandoCalderon, ManuelJaber, SaraTraglia, German M.Albornoz, EzequielCorso, AlejandraVila, Alejandro J.Bonomo, Robert A.Adams, Mark D.Ramírez, María SoledadUniversidad Nacional de RosarioAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)
