Carbapenem-resistant<i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>at a hospital in Botswana: Detecting a protracted outbreak using whole genome sequencing

2023-07-12

Abstract excerpt

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb) has emerged as a major and often fatal cause of bloodstream infections among hospitalized patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). CRAb outbreaks are hypothesized to arise from reservoirs in the hospital environment, but outbreak investigations in LMICs are seldom able to incorporate whole genome sequencing (WGS) due to resource limitations. We perfo...
