Antibiotic resistance pattern of A. baumannii in relation to gender and age groups.
| Antibiotics | Gender | Age group | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| AMP, AMC, CFX, CXM, FOX, CFM, CAZ, CRO, IPM, MEM, AMK, GEN, CIP, FOS, NIT, PIP, ATM, STR, TET, CLI, CPD, ERY | 20 (100) | 11 (100) | 9 (100) | 2 (100) | 13 (100) | 5 (100) |

∗ indicates that the total resistant pattern of A. baumannii from the age group of 41–60 years was significantly higher than the other age groups (P ≤ 0.05). ∗∗TOB and NET in females were found to be significantly resistant (P ≤ 0.05).
