Genomic characteristics of the multiresistant <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> global clone 1 reference strain A297/RUH875 Open
Objectives Acinetobacter baumannii ST1, also known as global clone 1 (GC1), is a globally distributed lineage associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The multiresistant isolate A297/RUH8751, recovered from a urinary tract infection…

Genomic Analysis of Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strains Recovered from Chilean Hospitals Reveals Lineages Specific to South America and Multiple Routes for Acquisition of Antibiotic Resistance Genes Open
Treating infections caused by carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CR Ab ) has become a global challenge given that CR Ab strains are also often resistant to a wide range of antibiotics. Analysis of whole-genome sequence data is now a standa…

Detection and typing of plasmids in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> using <i>rep</i> genes encoding replication initiation proteins Open
Plasmids found in Acinetobacter species contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. They appear to be largely confined to this genus and cannot be typed with available tools and databases. Here, a method for distinguishing and…

Analysis of pCl107 a large plasmid carried by an ST25<i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>strain reveals a complex evolutionary history and links to multiple antibiotic resistance and metabolic pathways Open
Acinetobacter baumannii has successfully spread during the last decades as one of the main critically important pathogens. However, many aspects including plasmids, are still under-investigated. Here, we report the complete sequence of an …

Phylogenomics of two ST1 antibiotic-susceptible non-clinical Acinetobacter baumannii strains reveals multiple lineages and complex evolutionary history in global clone 1 Open
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that is difficult to treat due to its resistance to extreme conditions, including desiccation and antibiotics. Most strains causing outbreaks around the world belong to two main global l…
