Materials & Methods: Eightynine A. baumannii isolates were collected from wound specimens and were confirmed by different biochemical tests. The biofilm-producing strains were identified using the crystal violet method. The producing strains of KPC, ESBL, and AmpC β-lactamase enzymes were detected through phenotypic tests. Further, the PCR method was employed to identify the ESBL, KPC, and AmpC. The Chi-square test and SPSS 16 were used for data analysis.
