this is the first report of an oxa-72-producing acinetobacter baumannii strain in romania , isolated from chronic leg ulcer samples . 
 identification of the strain was performed using matrix - assisted laser desorption / ionization time - of - flight mass spectrometry . 
 presence of carbapenem resistance genes was investigated by pcr and sequencing . 
 our data support the spread of the blaoxa-72 gene in eastern europe .
