Carbapenem Hydrolysing Oxacillinase in Acinetobacter baumannii
Abstract
The global rise in carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii is alarming, as it severely restricts available therapeutic options. Among the resistance mechanisms identified in this species, carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D β-lactamases (CHDLs) represent the most prevalent β-lactamases and are largely specific to A. baumannii. This review focuses on the different clusters of oxacillinases that have been reported in Acinetobacter baumannii worldwide. Keywords: Acinetobacter baumannii, CHDLs, carbapenem-hydrolyzing, β-lactamases.
