The SI unit of resistance is the ohm $\Omega$: $1 \, \Omega = 1 \, \mathrm V \, \mathrm A^{-1}$
In the CGS unrationalised electromagnetic system, the base unit of resistance is the abohm $\mathrm {ab\Omega}$.
In the CGS unrationalised electrostatic system, the base unit of resistance is the statohm $\mathrm {stat\Omega}$.
