Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine the resistance genes present and the structure of resistance islands in the multiply antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii reference strain for global clone 2, RUH134 or A320. METHODS: PCR was used to detect antibiotic resistance genes and insertion sequences, and establish linkage between genes. Structures of the resistance islands were determined by PCR mapping and DNA...
