Journal ArticleDOI
Global evolution of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clonal lineages.
TL;DR: Genomic and genetic studies have elucidated the role of mobile genetic elements in the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes and substantiate the rate of genetic alterations associated with acquisition in A. baumannii of various resistance genes, including OXA- and metallo-β-lactamase-type carbapenemase genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii: the molecular epidemic features of an emerging problem in health care facilities.
TL;DR: The global epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii is reviewed, with the emphasis on the molecular epidemiology and genetic characterization of carbAPenem resistance in epidemic strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular epidemiological investigation of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains in four Mediterranean countries with a multilocus sequence typing scheme
TL;DR: Thirty-five multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains, representative of 28 outbreaks involving 484 patients from 20 hospitals in Greece, Italy, Lebanon and Turkey from 1999 to 2009, were analysed by multilocus sequence typing and it was concluded that outbreaks were caused by the spread of a few strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virulence-related traits of epidemic Acinetobacter baumannii strains belonging to the international clonal lineages I-III and to the emerging genotypes ST25 and ST78

TL;DR: Elevated resistance to desiccation, high biofilm-forming capacity on abiotic surfaces and adherence to A549 cells might have favoured the spread and persistence in the hospital environment of A. baumannii strains assigned to distinct MLST genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome organization of epidemic Acinetobacter baumannii strains
TL;DR: The definition of the genome components of A. baumannii provides a scaffold to rapidly evaluate the genomic organization of novel clinical A. tournaisii isolates, and showed that some islands were restricted to specific genotypes.
