Genetic diversity and ERIC-PCR-based relationships of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from hospitals

High genetic diversity and a concerning prevalence of resistance genes were observed among A. baumannii isolates, and the dominance of shared resistance profiles across diverse ERIC types highlights the stabilizing role of horizontal gene transfer in resistance dynamics.

Genotypic and Phenotypic Resistance Profiles of Invasive Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates at Bulgarian University Hospital

The relationship between genotypic and phenotypic resistance profiles in 36 non-duplicate invasive A. baumannii isolates collected at a tertiary care hospital in Bulgaria over a six-year period supports the use of targeted genes, such as armA, combined with phenotypic testing to guide empirical therapy and strengthen l...

Molecular Characterization of OXA Carbapenemase Genes in Acinetobacter Baumannii Isolated from Different Clinical Samples.

It is indicated that blaOXA-23 is the predominant contributor to carbapenem resistance among A. baumannii isolates in Baghdad, while blaOXA-24 and blaOXA-58 are also increasingly prevalent.
