Carbapenem Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii: Mechanisms, Therapeutics, and Innovations

Microorganisms
The global rise of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) strains poses a critical challenge to healthcare systems due to limited therapeutic options and high mortality rates, especially in intensive care settings. This review explores the epidemiological landscape and molecular mechanisms driving carbapenem resistance, including the ...
