Molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii group in Taiwan by Tran Lam Tu Quyen, Yu-Chia Hsieh, Shiao-Wen Li, Lii-Tzu Wu, Ya-Zhu Liu, Yi-Jiun Pan

“…Additionally, KL types showed correlations with ST types, carbapenem resistance, and certain clinical records. Whole-genome sequencing of a blaNDM-1-carrying A. seifertii strain revealed a plasmid transferable via in vitro conjugation, suggesting A. seifertii may be a reservoir for NDM-1 plasmids.IMPORTANCECarbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. have been identified by the World Health Organization as a top priority for new antibiotic development. …”
