“…The strains were genetically unrelated as determined by their sensitivity profiles, which differed from each other. These isolates were obtained from surgical site infections (57), orthopaedic infections (36), urinary tract infections (28), cerebrospinal fluid (5), sputum (11), and ear and eye samples (12). Isolates were identified by standard biochemical techniques [8].…”

“…A specific epidemic strain of A. baumannii causes infection or colonization of numerous patients. [21][22][23][24] Liu et al 25 reported that the bloodstream infections of the patients were caused by C. freundii. Citrobacter infections are often nosocomial, are commonly drug resistant, and have been seen and isolated in patients with significant underlying diseases.…”

“…38 Results of previous studies indicate that some specific bacteria isolated from patients caused nosocomial infections. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]33 Thus, the activity of occupants may influence the presence of infectious bioaerosols in the environment. The fluctuation of bacterial flora in the air is also noted when patients and medical devices are transferred into and out of the room; it then remains steady but adaptable thereafter.…”

“…Resistance to antibiotics may be caused by several mechanisms, but the most important of which is the production of β-lactamase that hydrolyzes the β-lactam ring (Lin et al, 2003;Liu et al, 2007). β-Lactamases (EC 3.5.2.6) are the primary agents of bacterial resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins.…”
