GES-11, a Novel Integron-Associated GES Variant in Acinetobacter baumannii

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: New extended-spectrum beta-lactamase GES-11 was detected in Acinetobacter baumannii BM4674. The enzyme conferred resistance to beta-lactams, including aztreonam, and reduced susceptibility to carbapenems. The structural gene was part of a class 1 integron borne by self-transferable plasmid pIP847. GES-type beta-lactamases have not been reported previously in A. baumannii.
