Clinical Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baylyi Strain Coharboring bla SIM-1 and bla OXA-23 from China

Abstract
bla SIM-1 and bla OXA-23 were codetected in clinical carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baylyi strain NB09A30. Both of carbapenemase genes were located on a large plasmid (ca. 360 kb). bla SIM-1 was found as a gene cassette inserted into a class 1 integron identical to that determined in Acinetobacter sp. isolates from South Korea. The genetic structure of bla OXA-23 in NB09A30 was different from that in the prevalent Acinetobacter baumannii of clonal complex 92 (CC92) from the same hospital.
