Emergence and Spread of Plasmid-Borne tet (B)::IS CR2 in Minocycline-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates

Resistance to minocycline has emerged in multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Buenos Aires hospitals. Few reports about the description and dispersion of tet genes in this species have been published. We observed the presence of tet (B) in all minocycline-resistant isolates. Thi...

Zusammenfassung:	Resistance to minocycline has emerged in multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Buenos Aires hospitals. Few reports about the description and dispersion of tet genes in this species have been published. We observed the presence of tet (B) in all minocycline-resistant isolates. This gene was found to be associated with the IS CR2 mobile element, which may, in part, explain its dispersion.
