Prevalence of antibiotic resistance among Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Aleppo, Syria.

Abdul Rezzak Hamzeh1, Mona Al Najjar, Maysa Mahfoud.   

Abstract

This study describes and analyzes Acinetobacter baumannii antibiotic susceptibly profile in Aleppo, Syria, thus providing vital information for guiding treatment of A baumannii infections. Two hundred sixty nonrepetitive A baumannii isolates were studied over 3.5 years. Resistance rates are at the higher end of globally reported levels. Newer cephalosporins and β-lactamase-resistant agents are becoming practically ineffective. Better activity is limited to carbapenems and colistin, which elicited the highest susceptibility levels.
