The effect of colistin resistance-associated mutations on the fitness of Acinetobacter baumannii
Acinetobacter baumannii had emerged as an important nosocomial and opportunistic pathogen worldwide. To determine the evolutionary pathway of colistin resistance in A. baumannii and its influence on bacterial fitness, five independent colonies of A. baumannii ATCC 17978 were exposed to colistin in a...
