Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity of OXA-51-like, OXA-23-like, OXA-24, and OXA-58-like genes and the role of beta-lactamases in carbapenem resistance among multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains recovered from patients in intensive care units (ICUs).
