Samenvatting

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were obtained from 17
patients between September 2004 and August 2005 at the Academisch Ziekenhuis
Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium. These multidrug-resistant
isolates, which belonged to a single clone, remained susceptible to colistin and
tigecycline only and produced the carbapenem-hydrolyzing oxacillinase OXA-58.
This study highlights the importance of the intercountry spread of this
beta-lactamase-mediated resistance mechanism and its epidemic evolution.
