INTRODUCTION: The increase in the prevalence of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter
baumannii infections in hospital settings has rapidly emerged worldwide as a serious health …

Background Nosocomial infections and persistence of multidrug resistant biofilm forming
Acinetobacter baumannii in hospitals has made it as a serious problem in healthcare …

Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is recognized to be
among the most difficult antimicrobial-resistant gram-negative bacilli to control and treat. An …

Background The ability of biofilm formation is an effective way for Acinetobacter baumannii
survival from stressed conditions. This present study was aimed to evaluate the association …

Background Metallo-β-Lactamases (MBL) are usually encoded on the gene cassettes
harboring integrons and disseminated easily among Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. This …

Houseflies are alleged reservoirs as well as vectors of human and animal pathogens,
including bacteria, because they frequently have contact with animal excreta and decaying …

VIM, bla IMP, bla SPM, sul1 and sul2 were positive in 75%, 12%, 12%, 47.8%, and 67.4% of
isolates, respectively. The high prevalence of metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) and sul genes …

OXA-58 gene was not detected in any of the isolates. Also, 56.2% of isolates had both the
blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-24 genes simultaneously. We found that the prevalence of OXA …

Purpose. Infections associated with Acinetobacter baumannii represent an increasing threat
in healthcare settings. Therefore, we investigated the epidemiological relationship between …

Objectives This study aimed to determine the prevalence of class I, II, and III integrons
among clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected from hospitalized patients …
