Abstract excerpt
Acinetobacter baumannii is the main cause of nosocomial infections, which are increasingly difficult to treat due to the emergence of carbapenem resistance. This study focused on major carbapenemase genes and explored the association between carbapenemase genes, sequence types (ST types), and capsular types (K types). A total of 98 carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) strains were collected from two...
