Polyclonal spread of blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-58 in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Argentina

Background: In order to study the enzymatic carbapenem resistance mechanisms in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Argentina, we performed molecular characterization on 41 epidemiologically unrelated strains isolated from 1995 to 2006 with diminished susceptibilities to imipenem and meropenem.
