Synopsis: 
Detection of Acinetobacter from different samples suggests either an on-going infection or colonization of organ sources with A. baumannii. Resistance was observed in all antibiotics tested in different proportion and the organism was found to carry different resistant genes to different class of antibiotics, thus supporting multi-drug resistant characteristic of A baumannii. Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter infections are posing an increasing threat to the population in these communities. Carbapenems provide an effective option against infections caused by resistant A baumannii.
ABSTRACT
 
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance and various resistance genes in Acinetobacter baumannii (A baumannii) from human clinical specimens at the payambaran and Baqiyatallah Hospitals in the city of Tehran, Iran, over a period of six months (September 2012 to March 2013).
