Novel sequence type of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter pittii ST1451 with enhanced virulence isolated from septicaemic neonates in India.

This study is the first report of the presence of blaNDM-1 in A. pittii from India along with another carbapenemase blaOXA-58. Emergence of highly virulent, multidrug-resistant A. pittii with attributes similar to A. baumannii calls for surveillance to identify the novel strains and their pathogenic and resistance potential.
