Introduction: In the last 40 years, Acinetobacter baumannii has been among the bacteria known to acquire multiple mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and, HISENSE RQ689N4BD1 Fridge Freezer - Silver as a result, it is now one of the pathogens involved in healthcare-associated infections with multidrug resistant strains.Our study aimed to assess the production of carbapenemases in carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii by means of phenotypic methods and polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR), as well as to appraise the performances of carbapenemase Medical and Ambulatory supplies / Diagnostic Instruments and Supplies detection by phenotypic tests compared to the PCR approach.
