Abstract excerpt
We investigated the relatedness of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from a burn intensive care unit (BICU) outbreak, control isolates, and isolates from a previous 2007 outbreak by 3 molecular typing methods (repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction [rep-PCR], broad-range PCR and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry [PCR/ESI-MS], and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis [PFGE])....
