Resistance pattern and distribution of carbapenemase and antiseptic resistance genes among multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from intensive care unit patients

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Nosocomial infections caused by multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii have emerged as a serious problem in healthcare settings worldwide. METHODOLOGY: A total of 100 A. baumannii clinical isolates from immunocompromised patients hospitalized in ICUs in Iran were investigated for antimicrobial susceptibility and the presence of carbapenemase and antiseptic resistance genes.
