Detection and Typing of Plasmids in Acinetobacter baumannii Using rep Genes Encoding Replication Initiation Proteins

Margaret M. C. Lam et al.

Summary: Plasmids in Acinetobacter species, which contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes, were classified into 3 groups based on Rep protein domains, with 80 distinct types identified using nucleotide clustering. The study established a typing system that will aid in tracking plasmids and resistance genes, as well as identifying plasmids in other Acinetobacter species.

Co-evolutionary adaptations of Acinetobacter baumannii and a clinical carbapenemase-encoding plasmid during carbapenem exposure

Linyue Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the co-evolutionary dynamics between carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and a plasmid encoding OXA-23 carbapenemase. The researchers found that the bacteria gradually adapted to the presence of the antibiotic imipenem through mechanisms such as duplication of the OXA-23 gene and chromosomal adaptations, leading to improved fitness of plasmid-carrying cells.

Summary: This study analyzed a broad spectrum of resistance genes in Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from war-injured patients in Northern Africa and the Middle East, providing more detailed epidemiological information about locally abundant clonal lineages and resistance mechanisms. The identified acquired carbapenem resistance genes, including bla(OXA-23), bla(OXA-58), bla(NDM-1), and bla(GES-11), indicate potential transmission events among the isolated strains. The study confirmed outbreak-associated clonal clusters among the Syrian and Afghan strains, expanding the knowledge on international clonal lineages and resistance mechanisms associated with Acinetobacter baumannii.

Summary: The study investigated 96 CRAB isolates from a Korean hospital between 2016 and 2018, identifying clonal complex 208 as predominant. ST208 isolates showed higher resistance rates to minocycline, while ST369 isolates exhibited lower resistance rates to aminoglycosides and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Additionally, the study revealed evolutionary changes in CRAB isolates related to the emergence of new sequence types and selection of resistant genes.
