Background: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes (ARGs), with a focus on colistin resistance in clinical A. baumannii, as well as the risk factors associated with A. baumannii infection in Jordanian patients.

This study aimed to investigate the AMR profile of the Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae clinical isolates and to obtain the comprehensive characteristics of the carbapenemases among the carbapenem-resistant K.

- Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a serious infection commonly seen in intensive care units, often caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), among other pathogens.
- A study at Jordan University of Science and Technology Hospital analyzed data from 2012 to 2018, revealing that out of 547 bacterial isolates, 6.4% were Gram-positive, with 59% being MRSA, while a majority (92.6%) of isolates were Gram-negative.
- The findings indicated that Gram-negative bacteria were more prevalent and multidrug-resistant, and that Staphylococcus aureus was not the leading cause of infection in these ventilated patients.
