ABSTRACTThe spread of OXA-24/OXA-40 (OXA-24/40)-producingAcinetobacterspp. in the Iberian Peninsula has been strongly influenced by clonal expansion, but the role of horizontal gene transfer has scarcely been explored.blaOXA-24/40-carrying plasmids and genetic environments were characterized in representative (n= 15)Acinetobacterspecies clinical isolates (obtained between 2001 and 2007) byAcinetobacter baumanniiPCR-based replicon typing, sequencing, hybridization, and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Besides the identification ofblaOXA-24/40within the chromosomes of some isolates, the circulation of commonblaOXA-24/40-carrying plasmids (30-kbrepA_AB; 10-kbaci2) and genetic backbones amongAcinetobacterspp. was demonstrated.
