Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from Alexandria, Microbiology 2018

Antibiotic use in Egypt is generally unregulated, resulting in the emergence of resistance strains. Carbapenems are used as a last option to treat Acinetobacter baumannii infections that have become resistant to other antibiotic classes. However, carbapenem-resistant isolates are becoming more common. The goal of this study was to phenotypically and molecularly characterise seventy-four carbapenem-unsusceptible A strains. Baumannii isolates from Egypt were used to identify the different enzymes involved for carbapenem resistance..
