Clinical Profile and Outcome in Patients Infected with Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Infection in ICU Setting: A Prospective Observational Study

Introduction: Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) causes hospital-acquired infections in Intensive Care Units (ICU), with high resistance and mortality in critically ill patients.
