Antibacterial resistance emerges rapidly following an increase in the consumption of antibiotics against infectious diseases. The spread of ESBL producing strains has a limiting factor based on antibiotic function for the treatment of infections particularly caused by Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) %K Antibiotic %K Bacterial resistance %K A. baumannii %K ESBL %K PCR %K Clinical samples %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6110056/
