Our data revealed the genomic organization of OCU_Ac16a and demonstrated that all the carbapenemase genes are functional, each contributing to the extremely high broad-spectrum resistance of OCU_Ac16a to β-lactams. As multiple-carbapenemase producers can be serious health threats as drug-resistant pathogens and disseminators of carbapenemase genes, close attention should be paid to their emergence.
