Abstract excerpt
The genotypic and phenotypic characteristics and antibiotic resistance (antibiogram) profiles of clinical (n = 13) and environmental (n = 7) Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were compared. Based on the Repetitive Extragenic Palindromic Sequence-based PCR (REP-PCR) analysis, the clinical and environmental A. baumannii isolates shared low genetic relatedness (∼60%). Multilocus sequence typing (MLST, Oxford scheme)...
