Abstract excerpt
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a major threat to hospitalised patients, particularly in intensive care units and orthopaedic wards where implant-associated infections are common. However, the genomic and biofilm characteristics of CRAB in orthopaedic specialty hospitals remain poorly understood. Methods: A total of 97 non-duplicate CRAB isolates collected between 2024 and 2025...
