First report of Oxa-72-producing Acinetobacter calcoaceticus in Lebanon

Emergence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. has been increasingly reported worldwide. We report here the first detection of an Acinetobacter calcoaceticus isolate from vegetables in Lebanon carrying the bla(Oxa-72) gene. These findings show that the Lebanese environment may constitute a pot...

Sumario:Emergence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. has been increasingly reported worldwide. We report here the first detection of an Acinetobacter calcoaceticus isolate from vegetables in Lebanon carrying the bla(Oxa-72) gene. These findings show that the Lebanese environment may constitute a potential reservoir for this antibiotic resistance gene.
