Dissemination of a Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strain Belonging to International Clone II/Sequence Type 2 and Harboring a Novel AbaR4-Like Resistance Island in Latvia
Saule, Mara; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Dumpis, Uga; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Karlsone, Aija; Balode, Arta; Miklasevics, Edvins; Karah, Nabil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)An outbreak of hospital-acquired Acinetobacter baumannii infections, caused by a blaOXA-23-positive carbapenem-resistant strain belonging to international clone II/ST2, was detected in Latvia. The strain was partially equipped with the armA gene and the intI1-aacA4-catB8-aadA1-qacE 1 class 1 integron. In addition, the strain carried AbaR25, a novel AbaR4-like resistance island of 46,500 bp ... -

Prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in Norwegian and Swedish clinical isolates of Escherchia coli and Klebsiella spp.
Karah, Nabil (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-12)The aim of this study was to examine the presence of plasmid-mediated qnr and aac(6')-Ib-cr resistance genes among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. clinical isolates obtained between 2003 and 2005 from Norway and Sweden and showed resistance and/or reduced susceptibility to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin, respectively. Prevalence of the qnr (1.6%) and aac(6’)-Ib-cr (14.1%) determinants was ...
