Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen that is rapidly evolving
toward multidrug resistance and is involved in various nosocomial infections that are often …

During multilocus sequence analysis of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus–Acinetobacter
baumannii complex, we identified the evidence of recent genetic recombination between 2 …

Acinetobacter baumannii frequently causes nosocomial infections and outbreaks. Whole-
genome sequencing (WGS) is a promising technique for strain typing and outbreak …

Using a repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR (REP-PCR), we genotypically characterized
strains causing nosocomial Acinetobacter baumannii infections and analyzed the source of …

During the last years Acinetobacter species have emerged as clinically significant
pathogens. Most infections are nosocomially acquired and mainly due to Acinetobacter …

Purpose Acinetobacter baumannii has been identified as an opportunistic pathogen
responsible for nosocomial infection with increasing trends. To identify the circulation of …

Background Acinetobacter baumannii is a notorious opportunistic pathogen mainly
associated with hospital-acquired infections. Studies on the clonal relatedness of isolates …

Acinetobacter species are important nosocomial pathogens. A rapid and sensitive
identification system, capable of providing strain identity at the genetic level, is required to …

Outbreak strains of Acinetobacter baumannii are highly clonal, and cross-infection
investigations can be difficult. We sought targets based on AbaR resistance islands and on …

Background Acinetobacter baumannii has become one of the most serious causative agents
of nosocomial infections due to its significant ability to survive on hospital surfaces. It is …
