Co-Existance of Isaba1/Bla(Oxa-51/23) Is Increasing in Carbapenem Rersistant Acinetobacter Baumannii Isolates in Turkey

Key Points

• The research aims to understand the prevalence of isaba1 and bla(Oxa-51/23) genes in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains in Turkey.
• Analysis of isolated strains from clinical samples
• Molecular techniques to detect resistance genes
• Comparative studies of genetic profiles
• Increase in prevalence of isaba1/bla(Oxa-51/23) among isolates over time
• High rates of carbapenem resistance observed in sampled strains
• Diverse genetic backgrounds of resistant isolates identified
