To compare the two Acinetobacter baumannii multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) schemes
and to assess their suitability to aid in outbreak analysis we investigated the molecular …

To further expand the limited multilocus sequence typing (MLST) database for Acinetobacter
baumannii, 53 clinical isolates from various outbreaks in Europe and the USA, collected …

We have employed whole genome sequencing to define and evaluate a core genome
multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) scheme for Acinetobacter baumannii. To define a core …

In this study a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for Acinetobacter baumannii was
developed and evaluated by using 40 clinical A. baumannii isolates recovered from …

Thirty-five multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains, representative of 28
outbreaks involving 484 patients from 20 hospitals in Greece, Italy, Lebanon and Turkey …

Background Nosocomial outbreaks of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are of
worldwide concern. Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus sequence …

The aim of the study was to investigate the genetic diversity of Acinetobacter baumannii
clinical strains that had previously been allocated to three major groups based on …

Thirty-one Acinetobacter baumannii strains, comprising 14 strains from 14 outbreaks in
different northwestern European cities and 17 sporadic strains, were compared by …

Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected between 1999 and 2001 from 46 United
Kingdom hospitals were compared with previously identified northern European genotypes …

Abstract Objectives Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a serious
nosocomial pathogen that causes a variety of serious, often life-threatening, infections and …
