This study was carried out to illustrate multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii which have carbapenem resistance genes and to show its effect on mice hepatorenal functions. Forty four (4.2%) A.baumannii strains were isolated from 1050 positive cultures of all nosocomial pathogens isolated from Mansoura University Hospitals over one year. Sensitivity rates of A.baumannii were (28%) to imipinem, (66%) to meropenem, and (50%) to amikacin. Phenotypic detection of extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs) was done by the Modified Hodge test which showed that (54.55 %) of A.baumannii were positive and 45.45% were negative. The bla OXA genes were identified in A.baumannii by PCR analysis of which (72.72%) were positive for bla gene and (29.54%) were positive for bla
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
