Molecular Epidemiology of Multi-Drug Resistant Isolates from Hospitalized Patients in Greece.

Resistant isolates are one of the major causes of both hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and community-acquired infections (CAIs). However, management of infections is difficult as the bacterium is inherently resistant to many antibiotics. In this study, a collection of 75 clinical isolates from two tertiary hospitals from Athens and Alexnadroupolis in Greece was studied to assess antimicrobial sensitivity and molecular epidemiology.
