Metagenome-assembled genomes reveal novel diversity and atypical sources of a superbug.

Microbiology spectrum - 6 May 2025

López-Sánchez Rafael, Aguilar-Vera Alejandro, Castillo-Ramírez Santiago

Abstract excerpt

The genomic epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii has been based on culture-dependent whole-genome sequencing. However, this approach neglects sources that are not amenable to microbial culture. Here, we show that metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) are useful in appraising the neglected diversity of A. baumannii from unconventional sources. We analyzed 22 MAGs in the context of genomes from the main human...
