Genotypic and Phenotypic Resistance Profiles of Invasive Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates at Bulgarian University Hospital
The relationship between genotypic and phenotypic resistance profiles in 36 non-duplicate invasive A. baumannii isolates collected at a tertiary care hospital in Bulgaria over a six-year period supports the use of targeted genes, such as armA, combined with phenotypic testing to guide empirical therapy and strengthen local surveillance of high-risk A. baumannii clones in hospital settings.
