Objectives: Our study aimed to elucidate the clonal diversity of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter clinical isolates producing NDM-type carbapenemase collected through national surveillance in Cuba during a 7-year period (2013-19). Methods: A total of 199 isolates of Acinetobacter spp. from 37 hospitals in 12 provinces were genetically analyzed for their species, carbapenemase genes and genotypes. Sequence type (ST) and OXA-51-like gene type were determined for bla NDM-positive isolates. Results: Most isolates (95%) were identified as species of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex, with A. baumannii being the majority. Acquired carbapenemase genes were assigned to bla OXA or bla NDM type; the most commonly detected gene was bla OXA-23-like (49%), followed by bla OXA-24-like (20%) and bla NDM (15%). Twenty-nine bla NDM-positive isolates (22 A. baumannii, 2 A. pittii, 2 A. johnsonii, 3 other species) were differentiated into 19 STs, including the most common, ST23. Though NDM genes were mostly typed as bla NDM-1, a novel bla NDM-42 was identified in an ST79 A. baumannii isolate. bla OXA-51-like genes of NDM-positive A. baumannii were discriminated into 10 OXA types, including 2 novel ones. Conclusions: Our study indicated the spread of bla NDM to various clones of A. baumannii and other Acinetobacter spp. in Cuba.
