Evaluating the frequency of carbapenem and aminoglycoside resistance genes among clinical isolates of from Ahvaz, south-west Iran.

is one of the most important opportunistic challenging pathogens as a result of its ability to acquire resistance to broad range of antibiotics and cause a variety of severe nosocomial infections. We investigated the frequency of the aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs) and oxacillinase genes among clinical isolates of collected from hospitalized patients in Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ahvaz city, Iran. This prospective cross-sectional study was performed on 80 clinical isolates of collected from patients referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ahvaz, Iran.
