Genomic features, whole-genome phylogenetic and comparative genomic analysis of extreme-drug-resistant ventilator-associated-pneumonia Acinetobacter baumannii strain in a Vietnam hospital

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of ventilator-associated-pneumonia (VAP) worldwide due to its impressive propensity to rapidly acquire resistance elements to a wide range of antibacterial agents. We sought to explore the genomic features of this pathogen from a sputum specimen of a VAP male patient. METHODS: Whole genome analysis of A. baumannii DMS06670 included de novo assembly; functional...
