TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Detection of AdeAB, TetA, and TetB efflux genes in Tetracycline resistant A. baumannii.
Official scientific title Detection of AdeAB, TetA, and TetB efflux pump genes in clinical isolates of tetracycline-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from patients of Suez Canal University Hospitals
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic bacteria associated primarily with hospital-acquired infections. Its tendency to acquire or donate resistance genes to neighboring bacteria is a major concern. Tetracyclines have shown promise in treating A. baumannii infections, but tetracycline resistance is growing globally in A. baumannii isolates. Objectives: The study aimed to study (1) the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. baumannii infections at Suez Canal University Hospitals, (2) the distribution of efflux pump genes AdeA &B, TetA, and TetB, and (3) the effect of efflux pump inhibitor (CCCP) on tetracycline-resistant isolates.

STUDY DESIGN
Intervention assignment Allocation to intervention If randomised, describe how the allocation sequence was generated Describe how the allocation sequence/code was concealed from the person allocating the participants to the intervention arms Masking If masking / blinding was used
Parallel: different groups receive different interventions at same time during study Non-randomised Allocation was determined by the holder of the sequence who is situated off site Masking/blinding used Participants
