Emergence of a ST248Pasteur-ST1068Oxford Carbapenem Resistance Acinetobacter pittii Clinical Isolate in China, Co-Harboring OXA-58 and OXA-500 Carbapenemases.

We further mapped our genome to the p17-84 OXA plasmid (accession number: CP059478) (Figure 1B), which is located in an ST63 pandrug-resistant I A. pittii i .[15] High nucleotide sequence identity was observed for some of the contigs in the TCM2 genome with p17-84 OXA (Figure 1C). Identified resistance genes were correlated with the actual antimicrobial resistance phenotype of the strain and a I bla i SB OXA-58 sb -bearing plasmid should be harbored by the TCM2 strain. Consequently, we concluded that there was a I bla i SB OXA-58 sb -bearing plasmid in the TCM2 strain, which was probably obtained from other I A. pittii i and I A. nosocomialis i strains collected in China in 2012 and 2014, respectively (Supplementary Table 2).
