Epidemiology, resistance genomics and susceptibility of < em > Acinetobacter < /em > species: results from the 2020 Spanish nationwide surveillance study

ConclusionsThe emergence of OXA-23-producing ST1 and ST2, the predominant MDR lineages, shows a pivotal shift in carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) epidemiology in Spain. Coupled with increased colistin resistance, these changes underscore notable alterations in regional antimicrobial resistance dynamics.PMID:38606569 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.15.2300352
