Abstrakt: •A. baumanniiisolates producing GES-11 ESBL and OXA-23 carbapenemase from Tunisia as early as 2006.•We illustrate the emergence of plasmid-encoded GES-11 in A. baumanniiin North Africa.•We illustrate the transferability of these plasmid-encoded GES-type β-lactamases in A. baumannii.•Carbapenem-resistant A. baumanniiin North African hospitals is a matter of concern.
