Interbacterial transfer of carbapenem resistance and large antibiotic resistance islands by natural transformation in pathogenic <i>Acinetobacter</i>

2021-08-05

Abstract excerpt

Acinetobacter baumannii infection poses a major health threat with recurrent treatment failure due to antibiotic resistance, notably to carbapenems. While genomic analyses of clinical strains indicate that homologous recombination plays a major role in the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes, the underlying mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer often remain speculative. Our understanding of the acquisition...
