Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were obtained from eight patients in two hospitals in Curitiba, Brazil. The isolates were multiresistant, belonged to a single strain, and produced the OXA-23 carbapenemase. Treatment options were limited, although the isolates were susceptible to polymyxin B in vitro. The strain contributed to the deaths of five patients.
耐碳青霉烯类鲍曼不动杆菌分离株从巴西库里蒂巴两家医院的8名患者中获得。这些分离株具有多重耐药性,属于单一菌株,并产生OXA-23碳青霉烯酶。尽管这些分离株在体外对多粘菌素B敏感,但治疗选择有限。该菌株导致5名患者死亡。
