Survey of various carbapenem-resistant mechanisms of <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> isolated from clinical samples in Iran.

Abstract

<i>P. aeruginosa</i> and <i>A. baumannii</i> may become multi-drug-resistant (MDR) and Extensively Drug-Resistant (XDR) strains and cause a high rate of mortality and morbidity. Thus, it is of necessity to prohibit the spread of antibiotic-resistant strains in hospitals.
