Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii: where is it heading?

Le infezioni in medicina, 2013
In the context of the substantial increase in antibiotic resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii, we aimed to evaluate the susceptibility rate changes of A. baumannii strains for carbapenems. A. baumannii strains isolated from patients diagnosed with healthcare-associated infections between 2007-2010 were included. A total of 127 A.
