Comparative Analysis of Resistance Genes between Lab-Induced and Clinically Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance poses a significant global health threat, with Acinetobacter baumannii emerging as a prominent multidrug-resistant pathogen. Its ability to persist in hospital environments and rapidly acquire resistance genes complicates treatment strategies, highlighting the urgent need for effective antimicrobial solutions. This study addresses the challenges posed by A. baumannii's adaptability and resistance mechanisms through comprehensive research aimed at understanding its genetic evolution and response to antibiotic pressure in clinical and laboratory settings.
