The context of blaOXA−23 gene in Iraqi carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates belonging to global clone 1 and global clone 2
This study provides evidence for the dissemination of bla<sub>OXA-23</sub> on the Tn2006 in CRAB isolates in Baghdad, Iraq. It appears that this transposon is widespread in GC1 and 2 isolates as in the other parts of the world. Interestingly, one GC1 and one GC2 isolate from Iraq were found to be susceptible to carbapenem while the isolates belonging to GC1 and GC2 have so far rarely been found to be susceptible to carbapenem globally.
