Investigation of antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation ability of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from urinary catheters
This study concluded that <i>A. baumannii</i> isolated from the patients with urinary tract infections had resistance to routinely used antibiotics. The isolates have shown hemolysis pattern (α & γ) and tendency to make biofilms. Moreover, except for ceftriaxone which showed negative correlations, a positive correlation was observed between biofilm biomass and the resistance profile to the remaining three antibiotics.
