Identification of Acinetobacter baumannii by Detection of the bla OXA-51-like Carbapenemase Gene Intrinsic to This Species
Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: bla(OXA-51-like) was sought in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter species in a multiplex PCR, which also detects bla(OXA-23-like) and class 1 integrase genes. All isolates that gave a band for bla(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.
