current problematic and emergence of carbapenemase-producing bacteria: a brief report from a libyan hospital.	a collection of 94 gram-negative bacteria isolates, showing different antimicrobial resistance phenotypes including to the carbapenem classes was investigated. strains were originated form clinical sources from a single hospital in tripoli, libya during 2015 and were identified based on cultural and phenotypic characteristics, and fully characterized by the vitek automated system. forty-eight percent (48%) of the collection was identified as acinetobacter baumannii, 50% klebsiella pneumoniae and ...	2017	28674573
early detection of metallo-β-lactamase ndm-1- and oxa-23 carbapenemase-producing acinetobacter baumannii in libyan hospitals.	acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen causing various nosocomial infections. the aim of this study was to characterise the molecular support of carbapenem-resistant a. baumannii clinical isolates recovered from two libyan hospitals. bacterial isolates were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof/ms). antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using disk diffusion and etest methods, and carbapenem resistance determi ...	2016	27216382
