چکیده

Purpose Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii (MDRAB) is a worldwide threat because of its remarkable ability to survive in harsh environment for months. It has been shown that MDRAB can colonize patient environment [1], especially in intensive care units (ICU). This study aims to compare the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Acinetobacter Baumannii infecting ICU patients before and after relocation.
