Identification of KPC-Producing Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Acinetobacter Baumanniiin a Burned Infant: A Case Report
The objective of this study was to determine the phenotypic characteristics of KPC-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. A case report study was performed at a tertiary burn care centre in Tehran, Iran. Nine isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter bauman...
