In-vitro antibacterial activity of some essential oils against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii

Carbapenem group of antibiotics are used as the most effective drug to treat infections caused by this notorious pathogen.

Description
Summary:	Carbapenem group of antibiotics are used as the most effective drug to treat infections caused by this notorious pathogen. [...]we have also tested susceptibility of the same isolates to meropenem (Meronem, Astra Zeneca, UK) by MIC method as per Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. [6] These reports are in concordant with our data as increased percentage of isolates was found to be resistant to carbapenem. [...]these isolates were found to be resistant to other classes of antibiotics except colistin and tigecycline by MIC.
