- The success of particular acinetobacter baumannii clones: accumulating resistance and virulence inside a sugary shieldPublication . Silva, Liliana; Grosso, Filipa; Rodrigues, Carla; Ksiezarek, Magdalena; Ramos, Helena; Peixe, LuísaIn Portugal, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) has been associated with ST98, ST103 and ST208 (Oxford Scheme, Oxf) and a clone has usually been associated with a particular period of time. These clonal shifts were primarily explained by an increased antimicrobial resistance profile. Here we explore genomic and biochemical differences among these and more recent clones, which could further explain the diversity and evolution of this species.
