Genetic testing for predicting resistance of Acinetobacter species against antimicrobial agents

摘要

The invention relates to a method of determining an infection of a patient with Acinetobacter species potentially resistant to antimicrobial drug treatment, a method of selecting a treatment of a patient suffering from an antibiotic resistant Acinetobacter infection, and a method of determining an anti- biotic resistance profile for bacterial microorganisms of Acinetobacter species, as well as computer program products used in these methods. In an exemplary method, a sample 1, is used for molecular testing 2, and then a molecular finger- print 3 is taken. The result is then compared to a reference library 4, and the result 5 is reported.
