Phenotypic characterization of biofilm and multidrug resistance among clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in a tertiary care hospital
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii ( A. baumannii ) is a gram-negative, opportunistic bacterium. And it is one of the primary cause of infections associated with healthcare, particularly in intensive care units.
