Molecular epidemiology of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection in two hospitals in Central Brazil: the role of ST730 and ST162 in clinical outcomes.

CONCLUSION: Respiratory infection, age >60 years and use of noradrenaline were factors associated with fatality. ST730 (CC79) was associated with higher mortality (P<0.05) and ST162 (CC162) was associated with increased survival probability (P<0.05). PMID: 30516469 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
