Risk factors for nosocomial imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections

Abstract

Our results suggest that the nosocomial occurrence of IRAB is strongly related to an ICU stay and duration of hospital stay, and that IRAB occurrence may be favored by the selection pressure of previously used antibiotics.
