Acinetobacter baumannii is an important pathogen in hospitalized patients, particularly those in the intensive care unit (ICU). A total of 21 A. baumannii (6 from 5 patients and 15 from environmental samples) were isolated in the ICU and the isolation room of a state hospital in June 2011. The possible source of the outbreak was investigated. A. baumannii isolates were identified using conventional biochemical tests, BBL Crystal Identification Systems, OXA-51 specific PCR, and 16S rDNA sequencing. All the isolates were multidrug-resistant, showing resistance to cephalosporins, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, and the aminoglycoside group of antibiotics. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis suggested that all A. baumannii isolates were derived from a common source.
鲍曼不动杆菌是住院患者，尤其是重症监护病房（ICU）患者中的一种重要病原体。2011 年 6 月，在一家州立医院的 ICU 和隔离病房共分离出 21 株鲍曼不动杆菌（5 名患者各分离出 1 株，15 株来自环境样本）。对暴发的可能来源进行了调查。采用常规生化试验、BBL Crystal 鉴定系统、OXA-51 特异性 PCR 和 16S rDNA 测序对鲍曼不动杆菌分离株进行鉴定。所有分离株均为多重耐药株，对头孢菌素类、碳青霉烯类、氟喹诺酮类和氨基糖苷类抗生素均耐药。脉冲场凝胶电泳提示所有鲍曼不动杆菌分离株均来自同一传染源。
