Emergence, molecular mechanisms and global spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen that has emerged as a global threat because of high levels of resistance to many antibiotics, particularly those considered to be last-resort antibiotics, such as carbapenems. Although alterations in the efflux pump and outer membrane proteins can cau...
