title: First identification of OXA-72 carbapenemase from Acinetobacter pittii in Colombia.
abstract: OXA-72 has been reported in few countries around the world. We report the first case in Colombia in an Acinetobacter pittii clinical isolate. The arrival of a new OXA, into a country with high endemic resistance, poses a significant threat, especially because the potential for widespread dissemination is considerable.
