Abstract excerpt
Extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDR-AB) is a major threat to public health worldwide. A retrospective study for 27 XDR-AB isolates from four tertiary hospitals in Thailand was conducted. Beta-lactamase and virulence genes were characterized by PCR. The blaADC, blaOXA-51, and blaOXA-23 were detected in all isolates, whereas blaPER-1 and blaNDM-1 genes were present in 7.4% and 3.7% of isolates....
