We found that malignancy was the most frequent underlying disease. The overall mortality rate was 58%. All 14 available isolates were identified as genomic species 2 (A. baumannii) by 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing and were found to be genetically distinct by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.[SDGs]SDG3bacterial DNA; DNA 16S; Acinetobacter baumannii; adult; aged; article; bacterium identification; bacterium isolate; clinical article; clinical examination; community; DNA sequence; female; Gram negative sepsis; human; infectious complication; male; malignant neoplastic disease; minimum inhibitory concentration; mortality; nonhuman; priority journal; pulsed field gel electrophoresis; Taiwan; Acinetobacter; Acinetobacter Infections; Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Bacteremia; Community-Acquired Infections; Electrophoresis, Gel, Pulsed-Field; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Taiwan; Acinetobacter; Acinetobacter baumannii; Bacteria (microorganisms); Negibacteriajournal article10.1128/JCM.40.4.1526-1529.200211923388
