Objectives To investigate the genomic context of a novel resistance island (RI) in multiply
antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates and global isolates. Methods …

Objectives To reconstruct the evolutionary history of the clinical Acinetobacter baumannii
XH1056, which lacks the Oxford scheme allele gdhB. Methods Susceptibility testing was …

Objectives The objective of this study was to locate the antibiotic resistance determinants in
the multiply antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolate D4. Methods The genome …

Objectives To determine the context and location of antibiotic resistance genes in
carbapenem-and aminoglycoside-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii global clone 2 (GC2) …

Objectives To identify the origins of resistance in a sporadic extensively resistant
Acinetobacter baumannii isolate. Methods The complete genome of RCH52 was determined …

Objectives To explore the diversity of genomic resistance islands in multiply antibiotic-
resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in global clone 1 (GC1) from Australian hospitals …

Objectives To examine the causes of antibiotic resistance in the extensively resistant global
clone 1 (GC1) Acinetobacter baumannii isolate MRSN 56 recovered at a US military …

In Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), a wide repertoire of resistance genes is often
carried within genomic resistance islands (RIs), particularly in high-risk global clones (GCs) …

ABSTRACT A320, isolated in the Netherlands in 1982 and also known as RUH134, is the
earliest available multiply antibiotic-resistant (MAR) Acinetobacter baumannii isolate …

Background Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen that poses a
serious health threat to immune-compromised patients. Due to its rapid ability to develop …
