Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence Profiles of Acinetobacter baumannii in Pediatric Healthcare-Associated Bacteremia.
BACKGROUND Several factors play a role in the pathogenesis of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). This study aimed to determine the virulence genes of A. baumannii isolated from healthcare-associated bacteremia (HAB) in pediatric patients, as well as their biofilm-forming ability and resistance to carbapenem antibi...
