Comparative phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial susceptibility surveillance in Achromobacter spp. through whole genome sequencing

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Treatment of Achromobacter infections remains challenging due to intrinsic and acquired resistance to commonly used antimicrobial agents and no established clinical breakpoints. We attempted accurate species-level identification and compared the presence of genotypic resistance markers to phenotypic susceptibility patterns in retrospectively collected clinical isolates of Achromobacter spp. Our study...
