title: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter pittii strain harboring blaOXA-72from Brazil.
abstract: In this study, we report the isolation of OXA-72-producing Acinetobacter pittii in Brazil. A carbapenem-resistant A. pittii strain was recovered from a hospitalized female patient from Espírito Santo, Southeastern Brazil. PCR screening and DNA sequencing allowed us to identify the presence of blaOXA-72. We observed blaOXA-72in a ~11kb plasmid and flanked by XerC/XerD-binding sites.
