Abstract
In 2003−2023, amid 5,436 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected globally through the Multidrug-Resistant Organism Repository and Surveillance Network, 97 were ST19PAS, 34 of which carbapenem-resistant. Strains (n=32) sampled after 2019 harboured either blaOXA-23, blaOXA-72, and/or blaNDM-5. Phylogenetic analysis of the 97 isolates and 11 publicly available ST19 genomes revealed three sub-lineages of carbapenemase-producing isolates from mainly Ukraine and Georgia, including an epidemic clone carrying all three carbapenemase genes. Infection control and global surveillance of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii remain important.
