Antibiotic Resistance and Expression Of Resistance‐Nodulation‐Division Pump‐ and Outer Membrane Porin‐Encoding Genes in <i>Acinetobacter</i> Species Isolated from Canadian Hospitals

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bacterial pathogens belonging to the genus Acinetobacter cause serious infections in immunocompromised individuals that are very difficult to treat due to their extremely high resistance to many antibiotics. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of resistance-nodulation-division (RND) pumps and porins in the antibiotic resistance of Acinetobacter species collected from Canadian hospitals. METHODS:...
