 The study aimed to assess carbapenam resistance and to detect blau-acid 23 and blau-acid 51 genes in acinetobacter bomenia isolates recovered from patients with pneumonia secondary to ventilation. A total of 157 samples were collected from patients at two hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan. Of these, 92, 58.6% grew bacterial colonies and 39, 42.4% were identified as acinetobacter bomenia. All 100%. Acinetobacter bomenia isolates were resistant to carbapenams, produced carbapenamase enzyme, and were positive for blau-acid 51 gene. Additionally, blau-acid 23 gene was detected in 38, 97.4% isolates. This study suggests that blau-acid 23 gene appears to be the main cause of carbapenam resistance in acinetobacter bomenia.
