Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Resistance to carbapenems among Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae presents a serious therapeutic and infection control challenge. We describe the epidemiology and genetic basis of carbapenem resistance in A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae in a six-hospital healthcare system in Northeast Ohio. METHODS: Clinical isolates of A. baumannii and K. pneumoniae distributed across the healthcare...
