Genomic plasticity of extensively drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ST208 isolates from a fatal outbreak
We identified molecular resistance markers in three XDR and one MDR isolate and provided a genomic description of resistance and virulence, as well as the origins of the isolates. The isolates are closely related to MDRA Oxford ST208 and Pasteur ST2, identified in Asia and Australia. MDRA isolates are of concern in both hospital and community settings in the Western Pacific region.
