Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health. Recently Acinetobacter
has been identified as an important bacteria to the acquisition of antibiotic resistance. The …

Between 1998 and 2000, we characterized 91 nosocomial isolates of Acinetobacter
baumannii by antibiotyping and genotyping. A total of 25 ribotypes were obtained among …

Over the last decade, Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to carbapenems has emerged in
many medical centres and is commonly associated with high morbidity and mortality. We …

Our understanding of the distribution of integrons associated with multidrug resistance in
Acinetobacter baumannii isolates around the world remains incomplete. The association …

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic and gram-negative coccobacillus.
This opportunistic pathogen infectivity, especially in the intensive care units of hospitals is …

Nosocomial infections caused by multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter pose a serious problem
in many countries. This study aimed at determining the antibiotic susceptibility patterns and …

Background Antibiotic resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii have been responsible
for an increasing number of nosocomial infections including bacteremia and ventilator …

Sixty-three clinical isolates of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus–baumannii complex were
analyzed for the presence of integrons and antimicrobial resistance. Class 1 integrons were …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the diversity of the genes encoding
