چکیده
Background & Objective: Acinetobacter baumannii is a globally recognized nosocomial pathogen capable of developing multidrug resistance. This study investigates antibiotic resistance patterns, evaluates common resistance genotypes, and explores the genetic relatedness of PDR A. baumannii clinical isolates from hospitals in the Middle Euphrates region of Iraq.Methods: Fourteen PDR A. baumannii isolates were obtained and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing using the Vitek-۲ compact system. Resistance genes were identified via conventional PCR, and clonal relationships were analyzed using multilocus sequence typing (MLST).Results: Among ۱۷۵ A. baumannii isolates, ۸% (۱۴/۱۷۵) were classified as PDR strains, exhibiting resistance to all tested antibiotics. TEM was the most prevalent resistance gene (۵۰%), followed by CTX-M (۴۳%). SHV, IMP, KPC, OXA-۴۸, and Mcr-۱ genes were absent in all PDR isolates. MLST analysis identified five sequence types (STs): ST۲, ST۲۱۸, ST۱۳۸, ST۱۲۳, and ST۴۶۰, with ST۲ being the most common (۵۰%).Conclusion: The high prevalence of PDR A. baumannii strains in Iraq highlights the need for enhanced antibiotic surveillance. A comprehensive molecular investigation is necessary to mitigate the spread of these resistant pathogens.کلیدواژه ها

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
