Multilocus sequence type (MLST) analysis showed that the Asp-1069 and Acb-45063 strains belong to ST551 and ST15/CC15, respectively. WPS analysis demonstrated that blaOXA-58 was located in two distinct plasmids named pAs1069_a (24,672 bp/44 open reading frames [ORFs]) and pAb45063_b (19,808 bp/24 ORFs), which belong to the GR8/GR23 (repAci23) and GR4 (repAci4) incompatibility groups, respectively. The genetic environments surrounding blaOXA-58 revealed that it was flanked by two intact ISAba3 copies on pAb45063_b, which differed from pAs1069_a. In the latter, the upstream ISAba3 copy was truncated by insertion of ISAba825 element. Although Re27-specific recombination sites were found adjacent to ISAba3-blaOXA-58-ISAba3 arrangement on pAb45063_b, such structures were absent on pAs1069_a. The conserved ISAba125-araC1-lysE arrangement was disrupted by TnaphA6 harboring the aminoglycosides resistance gene aphA6 on pAs1069_a, while an IS26-blaTEM-1-aac(3)-IIa-IS26 genetic structure was found upstream from ISAba3-blaOXA-58-ISAba3 on pAb45063_b. Other two plasmids, pAb45063_a (183,767 bp/209 ORFs) and pAs1069_b (13,129 bp/14 ORFs), were also found in the OXA-58-producing Acinetobacter species strains, harboring the strA and strB genes and the sul2 gene, which confer resistance to streptomycin and sulfonamides, respectively. The plasmid-mediated virulence factors corresponding to genes tonB, spl, glmM, ppa, sulP, and map were found in both strains, as well distinct toxin-antitoxin system-encoding genes stbD and relE (pAs1069_a), brnT and brnA (pAb45063_b), and xreE (pAb45063_a). Although infrequently reported in Brazil, plasmid-borne blaOXA-58 showed a complex and diverse genetic backbone that confers stability in different Acinetobacter species that have been isolated from nosocomial settings over time. IMPORTANCE Although the blaOXA-58 gene has been infrequently described in Brazil, contrasting with other bordering South American countries, we verified the maintenance of this resistance determinant over time among carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter species isolates, not only in nosocomial settings but also in the environment.
