Seasonality and weather dependance of Acinetobacter baumannii complex bloodstream infections in different climates in Brazil.
Recent studies report seasonality in healthcare-associated infections, especially those caused by Acinetobacter baumannii complex. We conducted an ecologic study aimed at analyzing the impact of seasons, weather parameters and climate control on the incidence and carbapenem-resistance in A. baumanni...
