The analysis of cgMLST and SNPs is more accurate for strain homology analysis. Our data confirm that CRAB isolates spread from patient to environment in ICU; however, contact isolation and disinfection measures are effective in avoiding transmission, highlighting the importance of continued education and surveillance of CRAB. WGS could provide rich information on antimicrobial resistance, which is of great value in scientific research and clinical diagnosis.
