Özet

Introduction: Nosocomial infections continue to be an important health problem since they seriously increase the rate of mortality and morbidity as well as hospitalization period and treatment costs. Acinetobacter spp. have an important place among the factors that cause hospital infections. Fast and accurate detection of Acinetobacter baumannii outbreaks is important in the treatment and control of epidemic infections. In our study, it was aimed to investigate the molecular similarities of carbapenem resistant A. baumannii isolates isolated as hospital infectious agents with Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) method.
