In this study, we describe the molecular characterization of a plasmid-locatedbla NDM-1 harbored by anAcinetobacter clinical isolate recovered from a patient in Turkey that putatively constitutes a novelAcinetobacter species, as shown by its distinct ARDRA (amplified 16S ribosomal DNA restriction analysis) profile and molecular sequencing techniques.bla NDM-1 was carried by a conjugative plasmid widespread among non-baumannii Acinetobacter isolates, suggesting its potential for dissemination before reaching more clinically relevantAcinetobacter species.
