Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics, molecular epidemiology and biofilm production of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates obtained from a tertiary-care hospital in Mexico. Clinical isolates of A. baumannii (n=152) isolated from 2007 to 2012 were included. Clonal diversity was analysed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST)....
