Efflux Pump Overexpression in Conjunction with Alternation of Outer Membrane Protein May Induce <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> Resistant to Imipenem
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To investigate the role of outer membrane proteins in Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to imipenem, 2 strains were procured from the same patient. METHODS: The imipenem-resistant strain was obtained following a period of imipenem treatment in vivo. The multilocus sequence typing and repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR results indicated that the imipenem-resistant strain originated from the...
