Objective: To investigate the genotype of blaADC which was a kind of AmpC produced by Acinetobacter baumannii (AB), isolated through the detection of 28 similar strains among children.
Methods: 28 strains of AB were collected and isolated from the Pediatrics clinic during 2006, and were identified through bacteria and susceptibility test using Vitex-32 automicroscan GNI and GNS cards. The genotype of blaADC was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and them sequenced.
Results: 3 of the 28 strains of AB showed multi-drugs resistance, with a positive rate of 10.71%. blaADC was discovered in 17 of the 28 strains and the positive rate was 60.71%. All the 28 strains of AB were resistant to Cefoxitin. blaADC positive strains were all sensitive to Ampicil/Sulbactam, and only one of them was resistant to Piperacillin/Tazobactan. There were no blaADC genes discovered in the strains that were resistant to Ampicil/Sulbactam or Piperacillin/Tazobactan. There were changes of amino acids on the site 4, 242, 342 and 376 in the sequence of blaADC of No.2 strain, comparing to gi /7258342/ emb /CAB77444. 1/ in GenBank.
Conclusion: Above 60% of the AB isolated in children were carrying blaADC while a strain was collected from them at random. When they were undertaken nucleotide sequence analysis, significant difference was found from the others that landed in GenBank, which identified itself as new subtype.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is recognized as a common clinical conditional pathogen with bla gene-mediated multidrug-resistance that is a significant threat to public health safety. Timely and effective infection control measures are needed to prevent their spread.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of CRAB patients at three teaching hospitals from 2019 to 2022.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) phenotypes and genotypes, and homology features of carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) in intensive care unit (ICU) and to provide basis for effectively prevention, control and treatment of nosocomial infections caused by CRAB.
Methods: A total of 39 CRAB strains isolated from hospitalized patients in the ICU and neurosurgical ICU (NICU) between 2020 and 2023 were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Virulence factor genes (VFGs), antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), multilocus sequencing typing (MLST), complete genome multilocus sequencing typing (cgMLST), average nucleotide identity (ANI), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses were performed using WGS.

Genetic characterization of multidrug-resistant (MDR) remains scarce in Malaysia. This study aimed to characterize antibiotic resistance, genomic location, and genetic relatedness among the isolates obtained from a tertiary hospital in Malaysia. A total of 128 MDR isolates were collected from patients admitted to various wards (intensive care unit [ICU], neonatal intensive care unit, coronary care unit, high dependency ward [HDW], and general wards).

Article Synopsis
- Hospital-acquired severe infections are linked to genetic factors related to antibiotic resistance, specifically in strains that may carry genes for carbapenem and tigecycline resistance.
- A study analyzed 384 genomes from clinical and non-clinical sources globally, revealing significant variability in genetic content, with antibiotic resistance genes largely found in the accessory genome.
- The research indicates that while core genomes of environmental and hospital isolates are similar, the hospital strains acquire antibiotic resistance genes due to high selective pressure, with no geographical bias in their distribution.
