Epidemiology and clonality of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from an intensive care unit in Palermo, Italy

20 Jul 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, initially considered as having a poor clinical relevance, is frequently isolated from infection cases in intensive care units. We describe the epidemiology of carbapenem resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) in a general ICU in Palermo, Italy, from October 2010 to March 2011. FINDINGS: 58 of 61 isolates exhibited MICs for meropenem or imipenem ≥16 mg/L. Forty-nine...
