Sažetak
The new clone of A. baumannii belonging to the European/worldwide clone 2 lineage has become dominant in Split University Hospital during 2009. The new clone originated from General Hospital Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina and encoded OXA-90 gene (variant of OXA-66/OXA-51) and OXA 72 (a variant of OXA-40) with truncated VIM metallo- ß lactamase gene. This is in contrast to carbapenem-resistant isolates of A. baumannii from Split University Hospital during the preceding six years, which belonged to the European clone 1 lineage and encoded only the unusual OXA-51-type enzyme OXA-107, associated with ISAba1.
