Identification of bla_OXA-51-23-58, bla_VIM, bla_NDM, and bla_IMP carbapenemase genes in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from hospitalized patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The increase of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), especially carbapenem-resistant strains, is challenging for treating infections. This study investigated the antibiotic resistance pattern and frequency of carbapenem resistance genes (oxacillinase and metallo-beta-lactamase) in A. baumannii.

Results

In this study, 100 bacterial isolates were collected from clinical samples from different hospitals in Isfahan, central of Iran. Of 100 samples of bloodstream, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), wound, and trachea, 60 bacteria were identified as A. baumannii. The results showed that 100% of the selected isolates were resistant to cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, piperacillin-tazobactam, and meropenem. Based on the antibio
