A. baumannii-calcoaceticus complex isolates were obtained as a part of routine diagnostic procedure and analyzed anonymously. Only one clinical culture with A. baumannii-calcoaceticus complex per patient was included in this study. The strains were isolated and identified from blood, urine, the lower respiratory tract, and wounds based on clinically indicated cultures in each hospital involved in this study.
The identification and antibiotic susceptibility test of CRAB-cc were performed by the VITEK2® system (VITEK® 2 GN ID and VITEK® 2 AST-GN93; bioMérieux, Lyon, France) [19 (link)] and subsequently analyzed according to CLSI 2019 guideline [33 (link)]. The CRAB-cc isolates were stored in trypticase soy broth with 10% glycerin and stored at −80 °C until further characterization.
