We investigated a multiresistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated in our hospital. Analysis of the N-terminal peptide sequence of the outer membrane proteins (OMPs) purified from the strain allowed us to clone and sequence the nucleotides of the gene encoding the 33- to 36-kDa OMP associated with carbapenem resistance in A. baumannii.
