Interspecies DNA acquisition by a naturally competent <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> strain

2018-04-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Acinetobacter baumannii is a human pathogen that frequently acquires antibiotic resistance genes leading to the emergence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) strains. To investigate the role of transformation in the acquisition of resistance determinants by this species, the susceptible strain A118 was exposed to genomic DNA of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp). Resistant transformant...
