The problem of the prevalence of multiple drug resistant (MDR) strains of Аcinetobacter baumannii in hospi- tals is a major challenge for cancer centers. To organize the measures for interrupting nosocomial transmis- sion and spread of nosocomial pathogens, it is important to determine the identity of the circulating strains of microorganisms. Assessment of the true phylogenetic relationships of the studied strains is possible by means of a cluster analysis of the isolates, followed by the construction and analysis of MSP Dendrogram in MALDI-TOF BIOTYPER system.
