Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is an important health problem for the treatment of infectious diseases. Carbapenems have historically been used as a last resort for treating MDR Gram-negative bacterial infections. There has been a recent surge in carbapenem resistance in A. baumannii. The majority of the carbapenem resistance mechanisms in A. baumannii are due to enzymatic degradation by -lactamases.
