To elucidate the epidemicity of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), we investigated the antimicrobial susceptibility, the genetic basis of antimicrobial resistance, and the ability to form biofilms of 147 CRAB isolates collected between 2013 and 2015 from a Korean hospital based on sequence types (STs). Six different STs were identified: ST191 (n=47) and ST208 (n=36) were clones that had already...
