Antimicrobial resistance pattern of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolate in Ethiopia. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat. Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) emerged as one of the most concerning critical priority pathogens due to its ability to develop resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents. In Ethiopia, the public health impact of AMR is increasingly significant, with A. baumannii responsible for a variety of infections. Although A. baumannii causes a range of infections in Ethiopian patients, the drug resistance status of the clinical isolates has not been thoroughly assessed. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the country-wide AMR of A. baumannii.

Methods

This systematic review and meta-analysis followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (
