Nosocomial outbreak of a multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii expressing OXA-23 carbapenemase in Spain. Microb Drug Resist. 2014 Aug;20(4):259-63.1076-6294https://hdl.handle.net/2183/45752Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were obtained from 50 patients between July 2011 and July 2012 at the University Hospital A Coruña (NW Spain). These multidrug-resistant isolates, which belonged to a single clone, remained only susceptible to tigecycline, minocycline, and colistin and produced the carbapenem-hydrolyzing oxacillinase, OXA-23. This is the first reported outbreak of OXA-23-producing A. baumannii isolates in Spain.engAcinetobacter infectionsAcinetobacter baumanniiCross infectionDisease outbreaksDrug resistance, Multiple, Bacterialbeta-Lactamasesjournal articleopen access10.1089/mdr.2013.0127
