Abstract excerpt
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen in healthcare facilities responsible for nosocomial infections mostly in immunocompromised patients. Colistin resistance is increasingly reported worldwide in A. baumannii. Here we describe the in vivo selection of colistin and rifampicin resistance in carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, plasmid analysis and whole-genome...
