Abstract excerpt
The aim of the study was to characterize forty-eight Acinetobacter baumannii (ACB) isolates with confirmed tigecycline MIC values >2 mg/L observed in six Latin American (LATAM) hospitals (four countries) in 2011. During 2005-2011, 6,923 ACB isolates were collected as part of the SENTRY Program, and tigecycline susceptibility was quantified using the reference broth microdilution method. A total of 102/1881 ACB...
