Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from outbreaks in Erbil hospitals after the COVID-19 pandemic
The study identified metabolic differences in the isolates; although all the strains used the coumarate pathway to survive. Several resistance genes were present in the isolates' plasmids and chromosome. There were no strong biofilm producers. The role of the plasmid in A. baumannii resistance development was described based on the results.
