| Abstract: | Purpose Acinetobacter baumannii, Acinetobacter genomic species 3 (AGS 3), and Acinetobacter genomic species sensu Tjernberg and Ursing (AGS 13TU) are phenotypically indistinguishable and are often reported together as the A. baumannii complex (ABC). Few studies have investigated the difference in outcome caused by these different species, and all involved heterogeneous groups of patients. This study aimed to delineate whether there are differences in the clinical characteristics and outcome among patients with solid tumors and bacteremia caused by A. baumannii or two other non-baumannii ABC species (AGS 3 plus AGS 13TU). |
