Epidemiological, Phylogenetic, and Resistance Heterogeneity Among <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> in a Large U.S. Deep South Healthcare system
We report an unusually high degree of CR<i>Ab</i> phylogenetic diversity principally driven by emergent U.S. lineages harboring novel resistance elements that must be incorporated into diagnostic, surveillance, and preclinical research efforts.
