Molecular study of metallo-β-lactamases and integrons in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from burn patients

Abstract Background Productions of metallo-β-lactamases enzymes are the most common mechanism of antibiotic resistance to all beta-lactam classes (except monobactams) in Acinetobacter baumannii. MBLs are usually associated with gene cassettes of integrons and spread easily among bacteria. The curren...
