Antibiotic Susceptibility, Clonality, and Molecular Characterization of Carbapenem-Resistant Clinical Isolates of <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> from Washington DC

<div>Dendrogram representing the PFGE pattern of 28 clinical <i>A</i>. <i>baumannii</i> isolates in comparison with trilocus sequence-based multiplex-PCR (TLM), antibiotic susceptibility, and carbapenemases. BioNumerics V6.01 platform used for analyzing the <i>ApaI</i>-digested PFGE fingerprints using Unweighted Pair Group Method and Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) with 1.5% tolerance and 1.5% optimization. Seven clusters (C1–C7) were detected using cut-off value at &gt;75% for the similarity coefficient (vertical line).</div>
