ObjectivesCarbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) has acquired worldwide recognition as a serious nosocomial infection. It poses a concern to hospitalized patients because of the limited therapeutic options available. Thus, we investigated the molecular epidemiology and antibiotic resistance profiles of A. baumannii isolates in India. Materials and MethodsWe characterized 306 retrospective A. baumannii clinical isolates collected from 18 centers across 10 states and 1 Union Territory of India between 2015 and 2019. Molecular epidemiology, and carbapenem resistance were studied by Whole Genome Sequencing. ResultsA total of 105 different Sequence Types (STs) were identified including 48 reported STs and 57 Novel STs. 99 isolates were classified into Clonal Complex 451 (CC451) among which ST848 and ST1956 were the common STs. Carbapenemase resistance was confirmed in all the isolates with the presence of intrinsic blaOXA-51-like genes, and the acquired blaOXA-23 and blaNDM-1 genes. ConclusionMost of the isolates were grouped under clonal complex 451. ST1053 caused an outbreak in Northern India during 2018 and 2019. Novel MLST alleles and STs were also detected, underlining an evolutionary divergence in India. The carbapenem-resistance was dominated by OXA-type carbapenemases and further surveillance of these carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii and antimicrobial stewardship should be strengthened.
