Competence for Natural Transformation Is Common among Clinical Strains of Resistant <i>Acinetobacter</i> spp.

Competence for Natural Transformation Is Common among Clinical Strains of Resistant <i>Acinetobacter</i> spp.

Horizontal gene transfer events provide the basis for extensive dissemination of antimicrobial resistance traits between bacterial populations. Conjugation is considered to be the most frequent mechanism behind new resistance acquisitions in clinical pathogens but does not fully explain the resistan...
