Analysis of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii carbapenemase gene distribution and biofilm formation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In recent years, Acinetobacter baumannii has been appearing in hospitals with high drug resistance and strong vitality, which brings many difficulties to clinical treatment. In this study, 255 strains of A. baumannii were isolated from Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities Affiliated Hospital clinical samples and found to be highly resistant to carbapenems. The drug resistance, biofilm-forming ability, and carbapenase gene distribution of 145 carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) strains were analyzed statistically.

Methods

The clinically isolated strains were detected using Vitek mass spectrometry and Vitek2-compact for bacterial identification and susceptibility testing, respectively. The biofilms of clinical isolates were quantita
