Molecular mechanisms associated with nosocomial carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in Mexico.

Background And Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging pathogen worldwide that is most commonly associated with nosocomial infections and multi-drug resistance. In the present study we determined the mechanisms of carbapenem resistance and clonal diversity of A. baumannii nosocomial isolates in Hospital Civil de Guadalajara, Mexico.
