Mobilization of the AbGRI4 resistance island in <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> : IS <i>26</i> action and homologous recombination both contribute
and ISAba1, and homologous recombination in the evolution of resistance in this species. IMPORTANCE: gene in most current GC2 isolates and in the earliest currently available GC2 isolates from Europe. Hence, it may represent a form that is a precursor of those isolates.
