Dissemination of the Acinetobacter baumannii isolates belonging to global clone 2 containing AbGRI resistance islands in a referral hospital

ABSTRACT Acinetobacter baumannii strains belonging to global clone 2 (GC2) contain resistance islands (AbGRIs), which are composed of genes conferring resistance to older and newer antibiotics. Here, to locate these genes in AbGRIs, the GC2 strains from Tehran, Iran were examined. Among the 170 A. b...
