Multiple carbapenemase gene production by Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from burn patients in Iran

Conclusion: A high level of class D and class B carbapenemases among A. baumannii strains in the burn settings is a crisis in the eradication of infections caused by MDR, XDR and PDR strains. Therefore, the uncontrolled consumption of last-line antibiotics should be restricted and infection control strategies must be implemented accurately.
