Thirty-five Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were recovered from two medical centres in Guayaquil City, Ecuador, from November 2012 to October 2013. Isolates were identified using MALDI-TOF and confirmed by rpoB. PCR methods were employed for epidemiological analysis.Thirty-three A. baumannii isolates were resistant to all β-lactams. The bla
-like gene was detected in 30 isolates. DNA sequencing identified the bla
-like amplicon as bla
The 30 isolates harbouring bla
strains showed the same PCR pattern. We report the first outbreak of bla
producing A. baumannii in South America. This is the first study carried out in the Republic of Ecuador.
