Identification of Acinetobacter baumannii by Detection of the bla sub(OXA-51-like) Carbapenemase Gene Intrinsic to This Species

bla sub(OXA-51-like) was sought in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter species in a multiplex PCR, which also detects bla sub(OXA-23-like) and class 1 integrase genes. All isolates that gave a band for bla sub(OXA-51-like) identified as A. baumannii. This gene was detected in each of 141 isolates of...

Description
Summary:bla sub(OXA-51-like) was sought in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter species in a multiplex PCR, which also detects bla sub(OXA-23-like) and class 1 integrase genes. All isolates that gave a band for bla sub(OXA-51-like) identified as A. baumannii. This gene was detected in each of 141 isolates of A. baumannii but not in those of 22 other Acinetobacter species.
