Microbiological Study on Nosocomial Acinetobacter baumannii Infection with Molecular Characterization of Metallo Beta- Lactamases
Author(s): Shabayek MS
Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen which the World Health OrganizationÃ?Â? s considered number one critical priority pathogen. It has become a growing problem in hospitals as a predominant multi-drug resistant that left clinicians with limited treatment options. Its main mechanisms for β-lactam resistance are the production of carbapenems especially Amber class D β-lactamases followed by B β-lactamases. NDM-1 which is an example of the later poses a major health concern particularly in the light of its spread through population. To precede our study, 74 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were collected from hospital laboratories during the period from July 2017 till June 2018. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by Kirby-Bauer Disc Diffusion method (KBDD) and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was detected using E-test method. CRAB ones were te.. Read More»
