Overview
Molecular characterisation of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from bloodstream infections in a tertiary-level hospital in South Africa.
The study identified colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates with resistance genes including bla OXA-23, bla NDM-1, lps B, and various efflux pumps. These isolates exhibited extensive drug resistance (XDR) and were associated with sequence types ST1 and ST2.
Comparative genomics reveals avian Acinetobacter baumannii as antimicrobial resistance reservoirs and bovine strains with elevated pathogenicity.
Avian Acinetobacter baumannii strains were found to carry a significantly higher number of antimicrobial resistance genes compared to bovine and porcine strains, highlighting their potential role in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance through animal origin foods.
