First description of two OXA-23-mediated carbapenem resistance in Sequence Type 2 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Pagellus acarne fished in the Mediterranean Sea afar Bejaia (Algeria)
Résumé
To determine the occurrence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in fish fished in Mediterranean Sea near the Bejaia coast (Algeria), we studied 300 gills and gut samples randomly and prospectively collected during 1 year. After screening on selective agar media, using PCR arrays and whole genome sequencing, we reported for the first time two OXA-23-producing A. baumannii strains belonging to the widespread ST2/International Clone II and harbouring aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (aac(6’)-Ib and aac(3’)-I genes).
