- Identification of Acinetobacter baumannii and Determination of MDR and XDR Strains
- Abstract
-
The current study focuses on the bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii due to its importance as a nosocomial infections source in addition to its increased resistance against antibiotics. Different clinical and hospital environment samples were collected, and cultured on A. baumannii selective media: Leed Acinetobacter agar and Herellea agar. A. baumannii have been identified by traditional methods, followed by confirmation using molecular identification to detect blaoxa-51 like gene which is considered a diagnostic gene since it is present in genome of all A. baumannii strains. The result was, nineteen bacterial isolates of A.baumannii were obtained, from twenty-seven suspected isolates, detection of local isolates belonging to MDR or XDR group. Results demonstrated that all local isolates are MDR and 16 isolates (84.2 %) are XDR.
