Antibiotic resistance is a growing global concern in the field of medicine as it renders
bacterial infections difficult to treat and often more severe. Acinetobacter baumannii is a …

In Gram-negative bacteria, the insertion sequence IS 26 is highly active in disseminating
antibiotic resistance genes. IS 26 can recruit a gene or group of genes into the mobile gene …

Acinetobacter baumannii infection poses a major health threat, with recurrent treatment
failure due to antibiotic resistance, notably to carbapenems. While genomic analyses of …

Acinetobacter baumannii has become one of the most important multidrug-resistant
nosocomial pathogens all over the world. Nonetheless, very little is known about the …

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 Objectives To characterize Acinetobacter baumannii strains co-producing the ESBL
CTX-M-115 and carbapenem-hydrolysing class D β-lactamases (CHDLs), and to assess the …

The complete genome of RBH2, a sporadic, carbapenem resistant ST111 Acinetobacter
baumannii isolate from Brisbane, Australia was determined and analysed. RBH2 is …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a successful opportunistic pathogen that can compete for iron
under iron-limiting conditions. Here, large novel transposons that carry genes for synthesis …

OXA-48-like enzymes represent the most frequently detected carbapenemases in
Enterobacterales in Western Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. In contrast to other …

Abstract Aim The Acinetobacter baumannii genomic resistance islands (AbGRIs), which
were characterized in the genome of the global clone 2 (GC2) A. baumannii contain …
