Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii isolates T23, W35, and H1 were isolated from three patients who had been injured in the Haiti earthquake in January 2010. Those isolates, corresponding to two distinct clones, were identified as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producers and found to be bla CTX-M-15 -positive. That ESBL gene was associated with IS Ecp1 , involved in its acquisition by a one-ended transposition mechanism. In all isolates, the IS Ecp1-bla CTX-M-15 compound transposon was apparently chromosomally located.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
