Dissemination of IMP-1 and OXA Type <i>β</i>-Lactamase in Carbapenem-resistant <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>

Abstract

A. baumannii strains harboring IMP-1 or OXA-type beta-lactamases are currently widely distributed throughout the Chungcheong province of Korea. The most notable finding in this study was that a bla(OXA-2)-producing A. baumannii harboring MBL, which has not been previously reported, can also lead to outbreaks.
