A Comprehensive Study of the Relationship between the Production of β-Lactamase Enzymes and Iron/Siderophore Uptake Regulatory Genes in Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii

Figure 3

Correlation between the iron/siderophore mediate gene, biofilm formation, separated clinical isolates, and antibiotic resistance in A. baumannii. (a) Correlation between antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and iron/siderophore mediate gene. (b) Correlation between β-lactamase enzymes and iron/siderophore mediate gene. (c) Correlation between clinical sample type and iron/siderophore mediate gene. Each data set was analyzed using the Student’s t-test, Tokay, and the two-way ANOVA and was presented as mean + SEM. value <0.05; value <0.01; value <0.001; value <0.0001. ns: nonsense.
