Cluster analysis of NDM-1 habouring isolates Conclusion:This study documents the emergence of Acinetobacter spp. in the nosocomial environment and also the significance of different genospecies of Acinetobacter causing neonatal sepsis over an extended period of time. A unique assessment of the diverse genetic determinants for carbapenem resistance was noted. The emergence of NDM-1 among an already existing repertoire of oxacillinases is a challenge for clinicians and microbiologists alike. As new resistance mechanisms constantly evolve both laboratory detection systems and infection control measures need to be enhanced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
