Mechanisms of Acquiring Carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter Species

Jeong SH

A rapid dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. represents a significant clinical threat. Production of OXA carbapenemases and metallo-beta- lactamases (MBLs) is the most important mechanism in acquiring carbapenem resistance in...
