Our findings revealed the variable distribution of biofilm-related genes among MDR and XDR A. baumannii isolates from burn and VAP patients. A significant correlation was found between strong biofilm formation capacity and XDR phenotype. Finally, our results suggested that XDR phenotype was predominant among strong-biofilm producer A. baumannii in our region.
