Sir, Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii isolates are increasingly reported
worldwide, often being the source of nosocomial infections. 1 The 86 kb resistance island …

In this study, the genetic organization of three novel genomic antibiotic resistance islands
(AbaRs) in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates belonging to group of European clone II (EC II) …

Objectives To determine if members of the European clonal lineages are present amongst
multiply antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Australia. To search for …

To assess the diversity of AbaR genomic resistance islands in Acinetobacter baumannii
European clone I (MLST clonal complex 1), we investigated 26 multidrug-resistant strains of …

Abstract Objectives Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter strain HK302 was isolated from an
outbreak of nosocomial infections in Switzerland in 1977. The aim of the present study was …

Since the 2006 discovery of the Acinetobacter baumannii strain AYE AbaR1 resistance
island, similar elements have been reported in numerous members of this species. As …

Objectives To locate the acquired antibiotic resistance genes, including the amikacin
resistance transposon Tn aphA6, in the genome of an Australian isolate belonging to …

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

In multiply resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, complex transposons located in the
chromosomal comM gene carry antibiotic and heavy metal resistance determinants. For one …

Objectives The aim of the study was to determine whether ATPase genes of genetically
diverse Acinetobacter baumannii isolates are disrupted by potential genomic islands …
