Eighteen Years of Experience With Acinetobacter baumannii in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
To characterize the descriptive and molecular epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii in our hospital. ⋯ This constitutes the largest experience with A. baumannii reported to date from a single center. Half of all isolates were respiratory specimens and were from adult ICUs, especially trauma. Even though this was a polyclonal process, a single clone was identified in the hospital through a 6-year span.
