Introduction. Carbapenem‐resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has been responsible for an
increasing number of hospital‐acquired infections globally. The study investigated the …

Objective: Acinetobacter baumannii infections are rarely diagnosed in many hospitals in
Nigeria due to a lack of capacity for the identification of the organism in spite of the clinical …

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-Ab) ranked third, with a frequency of
24.8%, among 202 strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from clinical samples in …

Objectives We have investigated the molecular epidemiology and distribution of
carbapenemase genes in 492 imipenem-non-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii …

Background Antibiotic use is largely under-regulated in Egypt leading to the emergence of
resistant isolates. Carbapenems are last resort agents to treat Acinetobacter baumannii …

Abstract Purpose: Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii has become highly
rampant, which has been ascribed to the presence of multiple carbapenemases. The …

The aim of this study was to characterize the carbapenemase-encoding genes in imipenem-
resistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from the University Hospital of Annaba …

Emergence of the OXA-23 carbapenemase-encoding gene in multidrug-resistant
Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from the Pr Page 1 Letter to the Editor Emergence of …

Background: Carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged worldwide in the
hospitals especially in Intensive care units (ICU). Objectives: to detect carbapenems …

A study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and genetic background of
carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates recovered over a 17 …
