We investigated the molecular epidemiology, antibiotic susceptibility, and antimicrobial resistant gene determinants of 23 multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii samples that were collected from 5 proximal hospitals in Taiwan during April and May 2009. Major antibiotic resistance varied from 82.6 to 100%. Fivw pulsotypes were observed to spread clonally among the 5 hospitals. PCR screening revealed...
