Global spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Objectives: We have investigated the molecular epidemiology and distribution of carbapenemase genes in 492
imipenem-non-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii worldwide isolates (North and Latin America, Europe, Asia,
South Africa and Australia).
Methods: MICs were determined by broth microdilution and Etest. The presence of carbapenemase-encoding
genes was investigated by PCR. Molecular epidemiology was performed by repetitive sequence-based PCR (rep-
PCR; DiversiLab), sequence-type multiplex PCR and PFGE.
Results: Imipenem non-susceptibility was associated with ISAba1 upstream of the intrinsic blaOXA-51-like or the
acquired carbapenemase blaOXA-23-like, blaOXA-40-like or blaOXA-58-like. Isolates were grouped into eight distinct
clusters including European clones I, II and III. European clone II was the largest (246 isolates) and most widespread
group (USA, pan-Europe, Israel, Asia, Australia and South Africa).
Conclusions: The global dissemination of eight carbapenem-resistant lineages illustrates the success this
organism has had in epidemic spread. The acquired OXA enzymes are widely distributed but are not the sole
carbapenem resistance determinant in A. baumannii.
