Relationship between antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and biofilm-specific resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

Relationship between antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and biofilm-specific resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

In this study, we aimed to examine the relationships between antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and biofilm-specific resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. The tested 272 isolates were collected from several hospitals in China during 2010–2013. Biofilm-forming capacities...
