Dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in patients with burn injuries

Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2017
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important cause of infection in burn patients. This study aimed to characterize the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, determine the prevalence of oxacillinase and metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) genes, and type the A. baumannii isolates obtained from burn patients.During a 1-year period, a
