Recent Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates in a teaching hospital in Myanmar comprised three major sequence types (ST2, ST16 and ST23) and two sporadic STs, showing a high resistance rate to carbapenem associated with blaOXA-23. The NDM-1 encoding gene was identified in only one isolate exhibiting novel ST1407 (a triple-locus variant of ST16).
