Molecular epidemiology of carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Shahid Mohammadi Hospital, Bandar Abbas, Iran
Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of nosocomial infections which affect mainly disabled patients in intensive care units. The bacteria may acquire resistance to antibiotics and hence can seriously endanger antibiotic therapy. The most important problem facing treatment of A. baumannii is increasing reports of resistance to a wide range of antibiotics, including carbapenems,...

متن کاملprevalence of aminoglycoside resistance genes in acinetobacter baumannii isolates
conclusions the results of this study indicated that the genes encoding aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes are prevalent in a. baumannii isolates in the study region, which highlighted the necessity of considering preventive measures to control dissemination of these resistance genes. results antimicrobial susceptibility analysis showed that the highest resistance was towards beta−lactam antibiot...
