| characteristics of epidemic and sporadic strains of acinetobacter baumannii isolated in abu dhabi hospitals. | we compared the antibiotic susceptibility, clonal lineages and resistance genes of singleton acinetobacter baumannii strains to those of isolates representing repeatedly encountered molecular types in five abu dhabi hospitals. one hundred and ten clinically relevant, non-repeat strains were typed by blaoxa-51-like allele sequencing and by pfge, and selected isolates also by mlst. resistance was assessed by mic determinations and by disc diffusion. genotyping was carried out by pcr, targeting 28 ... | 2012 | 23264451 |
