Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the characteristics and clonal dynamics of tigecycline-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (TRAB) isolates from a Chinese hospital from 2016 to 2021. METHODS: A total of 64 TRAB isolates were screened and WGS was performed. Phylogenetic analysis and non-polymorphic mutation analysis were used to analyse their clonal dynamics and tigecycline resistance-related mutations. RT-PCR was used to...
