Acinetobacter baumannii GC2 Sublineage Carrying the aac(6′)-Im Amikacin, Netilmicin, and Tobramycin Resistance Gene Cassette

Acinetobacter baumannii GC2 Sublineage Carrying the aac(6′)-Im Amikacin, Netilmicin, and Tobramycin Resistance Gene Cassette

ABSTRACT The aminoglycoside antibiotics amikacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin are important therapeutic options for Acinetobacter iinfections. Several genes that confer resistance to one or more of these antibiotics are prevalent in the globally distributed resistant clones of Acinetobacter baumannii...
