A number of the environmental isolates represented multidrug-resistant strains, a phenotype that has been more commonly reported for clinical isolates of A. baumannii; the detection of several β-lactamase encoding genes in the investigated isolates is of great concern suggesting that there is a large reservoir of these resistance genes in the environment.
