Background: One of the most challenging isolates in nosocomial infections is Acinetobacter
baumannii which is rapidly changing towards multi-drug resistant. Resistance to the last …

Background: Drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii have emerged as a major problem in
many hospitals and intensive care units. The aim of this study was to determine the antibiotic …

Background: One leading factor responsible for resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii, is
the production of carbapenamases like metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), which hydrolyze a …

Background: Carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial
pathogen associated with a variety of infections. Objectives: The current study aimed to …

This study was conducted during the period from February 2010 to February 2011 to
correlate the Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from clinical and environmental …

Background: Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii has become a major
concern for treating physicians. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of …

Metallo-b-lactamase (MBL)-producing Acinetobacter baumannii has become a growing
therapeutic concern worldwide. The aims of this study were to evaluate the antimicrobial …

Materials and Methods: In this study, we used three sets of primers to amplify the MBL genes
including bla OXA-48, bla OXA-23 and bla NDM. The multiplex PCR assay was optimized …

Acinetobacter baumannii became a serious endemic and widespread pathogen responsible
for causing nosocomial infections due to restricted treatment options. This study was …

Acinetobacter species particularly Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) have been
