Characterization of the carbapenem-hydrolyzing oxacillinase OXA-58 in an Acinetobacter phenon 6/ct13TU clinical isolate.
The bla(OXA-58) gene identified in the Acinetobacter phenon 6/ct13TU clinical isolate presented 100% homology with the same gene in Acinetobacter baumannii. Its location in a plasmid suggests that these resistance genes may be transferred from 1 species to another.
