title: Antimicrobial susceptibility and mechanisms of resistance to quinolones and beta-lactams in Acinetobacter genospecies 3.
abstract: Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined in 15 epidemiologically unrelated clinical isolates of Acinetobacter genospecies 3. Moreover, the mechanisms of resistance to some beta-lactam antibiotics may be associated with the presence of a chromosomal cephalosporinase, AmpC, and the resistance to quinolones related to mutations in the gyrA and parC genes.
