To study the distribution, diversity and activity of Acinetobacter-derived cephalosporinase (ADC)-, carbapenem-hydrolysing oxacillinase (CHO)- and metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-encoding genes, and of the most common insertion sequences (ISs), in the genome of nosocomial, epidemic, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) clones from Spain.
