Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Acinetobacter junii and Acinetobacter nosocomialis isolated from humans, animals, and the environment in Lagos, Nigeria
This study revealed the existence of <i>A. nosocomialis</i> and <i>A. junii</i> resistant to cefotaxime and fosfomycin in the One Health sector in Lagos. Both species were found to exhibit six conserved virulence genes linked to pathogenicity. Advanced molecular diagnostics is needed to monitor the emergence and spread of virulence and antibiotic-resistance in <i>Acinetobacter</i> species in Nigeria.
