Abstract

The population structure of 71 carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from several hospitals in Brazil was investigated by ApaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, bla(OXA-51)-like subtyping, and multilocus sequence typing (Institute Pasteur scheme). In addition to the predominance of strains carrying bla(OXA-23), we detected the presence of bla(OXA-72) and bla(OXA-231). We observed a predominance of clonal complex 1 (CC1), CC15, and CC79 and representative strains of the worldwide-disseminated international clone I. (AU)
