Resumo

Multidrug resistant bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, are considered as a major public health threat, particularly those which are responsible for nosocomial infections. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of carbapenem resistance and the clonal relationship of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) isolates of a probable outbreak in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Saydet Zgharta University Medical Center (SZUMC), in north Lebanon.
