Clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from a Portuguese hospital: PFGE characterization, antibiotic susceptibility and biofilm-forming ability

Highlights • PFGE analysis of the 79 A. baumannii isolates gave 9 different PFGE profiles. • All A. baumannii isolates were resistant to 12 of the 17 tested antibiotics. • 100% of the A. baumannii isolates were classified as MDR. • 74.7% isolates showed ability to form biofilm. • Isolates collected...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • PFGE analysis of the 79 A. baumannii isolates gave 9 different PFGE profiles. • All A. baumannii isolates were resistant to 12 of the 17 tested antibiotics. • 100% of the A. baumannii isolates were classified as MDR. • 74.7% isolates showed ability to form biofilm. • Isolates collected from the emergency unit showed higher ability to form biofilms.
