Multidrug- and Extensively Drug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in a Tertiary Hospital from Brazil: The Importance of Carbapenemase Encoding Genes and Epidemic Clonal Complexes in a 10-Year Study

Abstract excerpt

This study aimed to characterize the main mechanisms of acquired antimicrobial resistance of 103 multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from bloodstream from 2006 to 2016 from a hospital in Londrina, Brazil. All 103 isolates were identified as A. baumannii by amplification of the bla OXA-51-like and rpo B genes. Mortality was observed in the majority (81.6%) of the patients. High non-susceptibility...
