Abstract excerpt

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a common nosocomial bacterial pathogen with limited treatment options. CRAB outbreaks are disastrous for critically ill patients. This study investigated carbapenemase-produced A. baumannii outbreaks in a tertiary hospital. Although multiple outbreaks were suggested by pulse-field gel electrophoresis, the genetic lineages and evolution between these isolates...
