Characterization of Epidemiologically Unrelated <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> Isolates from Four Continents by Use of Multilocus Sequence Typing, Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis, and Sequence-Based Typing of <i>bla</i> _OXA-51-like Genes

Abstract excerpt

This study used a diverse collection of epidemiologically unrelated Acinetobacter baumannii isolates to compare the robustness of a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme, based on conserved regions of seven housekeeping genes, gltA, gdhB, recA, cpn60, rpoD, gyrB, and gpi, with that of sequence-based typing of bla(OXA-51-like) genes (SBT-bla(OXA-51-like) genes). The data obtained by analysis of MLST and...
