Carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii: prevalence, antibiotic resistance profile and carbapenemase genes in clinical and hospital environmental strains
This study reports the occurrence of MDR strains, and of bla<sub>KPC</sub> type, bla<sub>IMP</sub> variants and bla<sub>VIM</sub> type carbapenemase genes in A. baumannii isolates from clinical and hospital environmental samples, contributing to the pool of existing data on their occurrence. It also highlights the need for monitoring and continued surveillance of the strains, most especially in the clinical setting.
