^aAbbreviations: TVGH, Taipei Veterans General Hospital; NTUH, National Taiwan University Hospital; NSCU, neurosurgical care unit; RCU, respiratory care unit; ICU, intensive care unit; CCU, cardiac care unit; NA, data not available; ER, emergency room; ICH, intracerebral hemorrhage; SDH, subdural hemorrhage; SAH, subarachnoid hemorrhage; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; DM, diabetes mellitus; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; CVC, central venous catheter; HD, hemodialysis; FVC, femoral vein catheter; Foley, Foley catheter; I, infection; C, colonization.

^bWard at which the patient resided and days of admission when the first isolate of non-A. baumannii species harboring bla_OXA-51-like genes was collected.

^cInfection (I) or colonization (C).

^dOrganisms isolated or identified from the same site and at the same time with non-A. baumannii species.

^eAppropriate antimicrobial therapy was defined as therapy with at least one antimicrobial agents that had in vitro activity against the causative pathogen and administrated within 48 h after the acquisition of index clinical sample for culture.

^f—/—, since the patient was colonized with non-A. baumannii species, antimicrobial therapy for acinetobacters was not warranted.
