Genetic diversity and clonal relationships of Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated in a neonatal ward: epidemiological investigations by allozyme, whole-cell protein and antibiotic resistance analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Sixty-five strains of Acinetobacter baumannii which had been isolated from patients and the indoor environment of a neonatal intensive care unit and, for comparative purposes, isolates from three other wards, were examined by means of electrotyping and analysis of whole-cell protein and antibiotic resistance patterns. Fourteen different electrotypes were determined. The predominant type, a multiply resistant...
