Aims The present study was conducted to investigate the mechanism of carbapenem resistance and the molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates collected from two nearby hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Methods and Results A total of 180 CRAB isolates were studied. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using disk diffusion and Epsilometer tests. The detection of OXA-23, -24 and -58 was implemented for all isolates using polymerase chain reaction. Subsequently, isolates harbouring OXA-24 and -58 were investigated for the presence of resistance determinants of Ambler class A, metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs), and carbapenem-hydrolysing class D beta-lactamases, ISAba1, and the genetic relatedness between them was analysed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). All isolates were found to be resistant to imipenem with a MIC of >= 8 mu g ml(-1) and were susceptible to colistin with a MIC of
