The epidemiology of acinetobacter infections in Hong Kong.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 May 1996

Siau H, Yuen K Y, Wong S S, Ho P L, Luk W K

Abstract excerpt

A retrospective survey was conducted of the characteristics of acinetobacter infections in Hong Kong--seasonal and geographic distributions, frequency of isolation from various body sites, antimicrobial susceptibility and molecular epidemiology. Most (80%) isolates of Acinetobacter spp. belonged to DNA groups 2 (A. baumannii) or 13, as defined by growth at 44 degrees C. An increased isolation rate in summer was...
