Characterization of a Novel Plasmid Type and Various Genetic Contexts of blaOXA-58 in Acinetobacter spp. from Multiple Cities in China

Abstract

The study revealed the unique features of blaOXA-58-carrying plasmids in Acinetobacter spp. in China, which were different from that of Acinetobacter spp. found in European countries. The diversity of the genetic contexts of blaOXA-58 contributed to various antibiotics resistance profiles.
