Distribution of carbapenemase-producing and colistin resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Batna hospitals, Algeria
Here, we report a high prevalence of carbapenemases-producing A. baumannii isolates in Batna hospitals. Notably, this study is the first to identify A. baumannii isolates co-producing OXA-24 and NDM carbapenemases and to report the first detection of colistin-resistant A. baumannii co-producing OXA-24 and OXA-23 carbapenemases from a patient in Algeria.
