One-year molecular surveillance of carbapenem-susceptible A. baumannii on a German intensive care unit: diversity or clonality

Abstract Background A. baumannii is a common nosocomial pathogen known for its high transmission potential. A high rate of carbapenem-susceptible Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (ACB)-complex in clinical specimens led to the implementation of a pathogen-based surveillance on a 32...
