Profile of genes coding for Carbapenemases among resistant acinetobacter species from a tertiary care centre: A laboratory based study

摘要

Background: Acinetobacter species are being increasingly reported to be associated with infections among seriously ill individuals. These infections are difficult to treat due presence of genes coding for resistance to most of the available antibiotics. The study was conducted to identify the presence of commonly described genes coding for carbapenemases among the isolates.
