Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze the genetic makeup and antimicrobial resistance, particularly related to β-lactam antibiotics, in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from a hospital in Recife, Brazil, after the COVID-19 pandemic.
- - A variety of methods, including PCR and sequencing, were used to identify resistance genes and assess genetic diversity, revealing high resistance levels and the presence of new β-lactamase genes in the isolates.
- - The findings highlight the urgent need for improved infection control and antimicrobial stewardship to combat the rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria.
