Abstract excerpt
To our knowledge, no study has considered the growing colonies of A. baumannii in the inhibition zone of antibiotic disks as an indication of mutator. Here, we screened the mutator phenotype in a large series of clinical strains of A. baumannii. A collection of 300 strains were tested for antibiotic susceptibility and yielding colonies in the inhibition zone of antibiotic disks. The mutation frequency (MF) of...
