Biofilm Formation and blaOXA Genes Detection Among Acinetobacter baumannii from Clinical Isolates in a Tertiary Care Kirtipur Hospital, Nepal by Upasana Ghimire, Rupesh Kandel, Mary Neupane, Sanjit Shrestha, Sudeep K C, Santosh Khanal, Dev Raj Joshi

“…The ability of A. baumannii to form biofilm might also be associated with increased antibiotic resistance and hence treatment failure. This study was carried to associate the biofilm formation with the drug resistance pattern of A. baumannii and to detect blaOXA-23, blaOXA-24, and blaOXA-51 from carbapenem resistance isolates. (2) Methods: Among different clinical samples, a total of 19 Acinetobacter spp. were identified with conventional microbiological procedures. …”
