| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to identify acquired OXA-type carbapenemases in Acinetobacter spp. other than Acinetobacter baumannii. From a total of 453 carbapenem-susceptible and -resistant Acinetobacter isolates collected worldwide, 23 were positive for blaOXA genes by multiplex PCR. These isolates were identified as Acinetobacter pittii (n=18), Acinetobacter nosocomialis (n=2), Acinetobacter junii (n=1) and Acinetobacter genomic species 14TU/13BJ (n=2). The blaOXA genes and associated insertion sequence (IS) elements were sequenced by primer walking. In 11 of these isolates, sequencing of the PCR products revealed that they were false-positive for blaOXA. The remaining 12 isolates, originating from Europe, Asia, South America, North America and South Africa, harboured OXA-23 (n=4), OXA-58 (n=5), OXA-40-like (n=1) and OXA-143-like (n=1); one A. pittii isolate harboured both OXA-23 and OXA-58. IS elements were associated with blaOXA in 10 isolates. OXA multiplex PCR showed a high degree of false-positive results (47.8%), indicating that detection of blaOXA in non-baumanniiAcinetobacter spp. should be confirmed using additional methods. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 January 2015.
All research outputs
#16,722,190
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents
#2,032
of 3,029 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#200,096
of 329,388 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents
#16
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,029 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 22.3. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,388 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
