Implication

Randomized trial investigates genetic factors linking antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation in Acinetobacter baumannii, indicating alarm for treatment challenges.

Key Points

This study aims to identify genetic determinants of virulence and antibiotic resistance in clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates.
150 non-duplicate MDR/XDR clinical isolates were collected based on resistance profiles.
Antimicrobial susceptibility was assessed using CLSI guidelines.
Biofilm formation and molecular confirmation were performed using specific assays including multiplex PCR.
84% of isolates were XDR and 16% were MDR, with biofilm formation observed in 96% of isolates.
High prevalence of metallo-β-lactamases detected, specifically bla IMP (82%), bla NDM (64%), and bla VIM (52%).
Significant association found between biofilm formation and antibiotic susceptibility profiles.
