Emergence of different Acinetobacter baumannii clones in a Croatian hospital and correlation with antibiotic susceptibility

A previous study conducted in 2009-2010 showed that reduced susceptibility to carbapenems in GH Pula was only associated with upregulation of the intrinsic OXA-51 β-lactamase. In this study a shift to isolates with acquired oxacillinases, belonging to two major clones was reported.
