Pneumonia caused by extensive drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii among hospitalized patients: genetic relationships risk factors and mortality

摘要

BackgroundThe clonal spread of multiple drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging problem in China. We analysed the molecular epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumanni isolates at three teaching hospitals and investigated the risk factors, clinical features, and outcomes of hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by extensive drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDRAB) infection in Guangzhou, China.
