Role of some proteins in resistance of clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates to imipenem

Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the ESKAPE pathogens which are leading cause nosocomial infections throughout world. The aim this study to detect role Some Proteins in Resistance imipenem. research included collection 100 different clinical specimens of( urine, burns, and wounds) isolated from patients Al-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital for period September December 2021. 20 isolates out belonging A.baumannii were obtained. samples collected distributed as follows:7(35%) Swabs burns,8(40%) swabs wounds, 5(25%)from an examination was conducted (8)Antibiotics by ( Antibiotic Susceptibility Test-AST ) on isolates. results showed that all resistant antibiotics except imipenem a sensitivity 20% resistance 80% Minimum Inhibitory Concentration level five at concentrations (128 mg/ml 256 ), while 2(40%) 5 concentration 64 mg /ml.
