Phenotypic Characteristics and Clonal Relationships of Isolates in Hospitalized Adults from a Private Center in Lima, Peru.

is an opportunistic pathogen, often associated with nosocomial infections. Ten were isolated from clinical samples during the period January 2021 and June 2022. Eight (80%) patients had cancer as a background disease and 2 patients had coronavirus disease 2019. A fatal outcome was recorded in 4 cases (40% of patients). All the isolates were susceptible to minocycline and levofloxacin. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and ceftazidime resistance rates were 20% and 40% respectively. Eight different patterns were observed by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis, only two isolates being clonally identical. The isolation of in clinical settings requires the implementation of infection prevention measures.
