Characterization of carbapenem-resistance Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates
Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen that causes nosocomial infections and outbreaks. Carbapenems have been the antibiotics of choice for treatment of infections caused by this organism, but resistance to carbapenems is becoming common, and very few therapeutic options remain. The imipenem-resistance A. baumannii clinical isolates are associated with OXA-, and NDM-type carbapenemases.
