Abstract excerpt
The value of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as an investigation tool for outbreaks caused by Acinetobacter baumannii remains inconclusive. Here, we used FTIR as a real-time tool to investigate a carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) outbreak and later compared the FTIR results to results of whole genome sequencing (WGS). We used single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis to confirm the...
