Antibiotic resistance pattern of Acinetobacter baumannii from burns patients: increase in prevalence of bla OXA-24-like and bla OXA-58-like genes.

Conclusion: Resistance to carbapenems as the last resort for treatment of A. baumannii infections is growing. This study, for the first time in Iran, has observed the increased frequency of bla OXA-24-like and bla OXA-58-like genes and found an association between ISAba-1 and bla OXA-58-like gene, which signifies the possible risk of increased diversity in OXA beta-lactamases and growth in carbapenem resistance.
