High frequency of carbapenemase in extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in central Iran

ConclusionHigh frequencies of XDRA. baumannii and CRAB (96.5%) were detected in central Iran. Quick and accurate diagnosis, appropriate isolation of patients colonized or infected by CRAB isolates, application of accurate and effective infection control policies and programs, and appropriate preventive measures are deemed helpful in preventing the further spread of these resistant and clinically highly relevant strains.
