TABLE 4.

Acquired β-lactamase genes identified in meropenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. isolates (n = 227)a,b

Isolate β-Lactamase group Total
OXA OXA + MBL OXA + ESBL MBL ESBL + KPC Negative
A. baumannii 156 8 3 3 1 6 177
A. baumannii complex 32 2 34
A. bereziniae 1 1
A. nosocomialis 1 1
Other Acinetobacter spp. 12 1 1 14
Total 202 9 4 3 1 8 227
a

ESBL, extended-spectrum β-lactamase; KPC, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase; MBL, metallo-β-lactamase; OXA, oxacillinase; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; WGS, whole-genome sequencing.

b

Data were generated by WGS if meropenem-resistant isolates were resistant to cefiderocol (174/227, including 1 A. baumannii complex and 4 other Acinetobacter spp.) or PCR if isolates were susceptible to cefiderocol (53/227, including 33 A. baumannii complex and 10 other Acinetobacter spp.). Isolates are grouped as “negative” if only intrinsic β-lactamase genes were present (n = 1) or if no screened β-lactamase gene was present (n = 7).
