Seventy-two A. baumannii strains were collected from clinical specimens between October 2018 and October 2019 at the Clinical Laboratory Department of Xinjiang Regional Hospital, as identified by the VITEK Rapid Bacterial Identification card and VITEK Mass Spestrometry MALD-TOF (bioMérieux Clinical Diagnostics, France) [19 (link),20 (link)], according to the Database from the American Society for Microbiology. The specimens then grew on standard MacConkey agar (Neogen, USA) at 37°C for 48 h. The strains were obtained from blood, 21 (29.2%); urine, 13 (18.1%); and 38 (52.8%) sputum. For all selected strains, duplicate strains of the same patient, samples of unknown type, and samples mixed with other Acinetobacter genera were excluded.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
