Abstract excerpt
Acinetobacter baumannii causes difficult-to-treat infections mostly among immunocompromised patients. Clinically relevant A. baumannii lineages and their carbapenem resistance mechanisms are sparsely described in Nigeria. This study aimed to characterize the diversity and genetic mechanisms of carbapenem resistance among A. baumannii strains isolated from hospitals in southwestern Nigeria. We sequenced the...
